Case updates November 30, 2020; most COVID-19 exposures are in households and gatherings

The new report on outbreaks and exposure settings from Public Health—Seattle & King County describes where people may have become infected with the novel coronavirus.

The report finds King County’s most commonly reported sources of potential exposure in recent weeks are in households and in community or social gatherings. 

Gatherings include get-togethers with family and friends, house or dinner parties, larger celebrations such as weddings, activities at a place of worship, or visiting restaurants and other businesses. 

This is different from early in the pandemic, when most cases were concentrated in long-term care facilities
