267 Coronavirus Cases In WA, Inslee Says There Likely Are More

SEATTLE, WA — At least 267 Washingtonians have contracted the new coronavirus, and 24 people have died from complications linked to COVID-19, according to the latest numbers from the Washington Department of Health.

Tuesday's update included an additional 74 cases identified in King County since Monday, and public health officials said illnesses have been confirmed in 10 nursing homes.

During a press briefing Tuesday morning, Gov. Jay Inslee acknowledged even the latest numbers are likely a drastic undercount.

"Unfortunately, since we haven't tested 7 million Washingtonians, we know that there are many, many other people today, in Washington state, who have the virus and who have not been diagnosed," Inslee said. "There is a range of that number, but the number I use is about 1,000, and it could be a lot more than that, frankly."
