COVID hospitalizations on the rise in Snohomish County
EVERETT — COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations from the virus are on the rise in Snohomish County.
With universal vaccine eligibility weeks away, public health officials are pleading with residents to mask up and social distance for a little bit longer.
“We’re going back in the wrong direction again, but we have an opportunity to turn it around ourselves before a retreat in recovery is forced upon us,” Dr. Chris Spitters, the county’s top public doctor, said in a news release. “We need you to act now to protect people’s health and keep us in Phase 3. Please celebrate wisely and make safe decisions, especially with upcoming holidays and spring breaks from school.”
On Monday, county hospitals were treating 15 COVID patients. By Friday, that number was 26.
