Coronavirus likely already spreading in Kitsap as 3 are tested, public health officials say
Three Kitsap County residents are being tested for novel coronavirus, though results were still pending as of midday Tuesday, according to the Kitsap Public Health District.
Local public health officials say they expect COVID-19 — the illness caused by the novel coronavirus — is already spreading in Kitsap, though there were not yet confirmed cases outside of King and Snohomish counties on Tuesday around noon.
Kingston High School closed Monday after a parent informed the district that their child was being tested for COVID-19, according to a spokesperson. However, the Kitsap Public Health District did not confirm if the student is being tested and is not releasing any additional information about the individuals who are being tested.
Kitsap Public Health Officer Susan Turner said the public health response is beyond working to prevent the novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, from arriving in the Puget Sound region.
