Jul. 21—COVID-19 disease activity in Thurston County increased over the past week and the transmission risk remained high.

Public Health and Social Services confirmed 615 new cases but no additional deaths the week of July 10-17.

In all, PHSS has confirmed 54,272 cases and 410 deaths since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. However, case counts are undercounted because so many people are using at-home tests that are most often not officially recorded.

The latest weekly case count is higher than the 533 cases reported the week prior. For the ongoing week of July 18-24, PHSS had already counted 712 cases as of Wednesday.
