Hospitalizations across Washington nearing an 'all time high,' Inslee warns
Hospitalizations across Washington are nearing an all-time high right now as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the state, Gov. Jay Inslee said Tuesday.
Inslee said nearly all counties across the state are experiencing high and rapidly increasing rates of the virus, with hospitalizations largely in the same area as they were at the beginning of the pandemic when the state first put into place its stay-at-home order.
"We are in the midst of a raging pandemic that I have to report has been most impressive in how fast this is moving," Inslee said during a news conference Tuesday. "It is really quite stunning and certainly alarming to all of us who understand what the future could hold if we do not act aggressively against this pandemic."
Several hospitals have already indicated they are starting to plan to curtail elective surgeries and other "less-emergent problems," Inslee said.
