Washington reports new high for coronavirus cases with more than 1,700 in a day
Washington reported more than 1,700 coronavirus cases in one day, the most it has ever reported since the start of the pandemic.
The trend is worrying health officials, who have been warning for weeks that people need to recommit to efforts to slow the spread of the virus or it could get significantly worse.
“COVID-19 is currently spreading very quickly in Washington state,” Secretary of Health John Wiesman said.
“We are very concerned that disease transmission will only grow over the next few weeks with the holidays coming up. The threat to overwhelming not just our hospital systems, but our ability to do contact tracing, is real. We need everyone in Washington state to take action now to stop the spread.”
