Here's where people in King County are likely being exposed to coronavirus
People in King County are likely being exposed to the coronavirus in a variety of different places, including homes, workplaces and social gatherings, according to a new report.
The report, from Public Health — Seattle & King County, analyzes where people could have become infected with the virus since the start of the pandemic. Public health investigators throughout the pandemic have tried to pinpoint the most likely source of exposure for cases through contact-tracing and outbreak investigations.
"Instead of a few 'hotspots,' COVID-19 risk is dispersed across homes, businesses, and other places where people gather. Currently, with a case-rate above 380 cases per 100,000 residents – triple what it was in early October – the virus is widespread in King County. It’s fair to assume at this time that exposure can happen anywhere you are around other people, especially indoors," Public Health said on its blog.
"The most common reported sources of potential exposure in recent weeks are in households, in a variety of community or social activities and gatherings, and in workplace. Examples of community and social activities include get-togethers with family and friends, birthday parties, house or dinner parties, larger celebrations such as weddings, activities at a place of worship or visiting food service establishments."
