KING COUNTY, Wash. – King County Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin will be giving an update Monday afternoon regarding the increasing levels of COVID-19 in the county.
According to a news release, King County has moved into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s medium, or “yellow,” level.
Last month, the CDC released a tool, COVID-19 Community Levels, to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area.
As of Monday morning, King County was still considered in the “green” level.
Duchin plans to give an update on what people need to know to keep themselves and their communities safe, the release said.
