Local COVID-19 case updates February 18, 2022

King county case report 

After a huge wave of cases starting in mid-December and peaking January 9, 2022 with over 2,000 cases that day in King county, cases are steadily dropping, with 200 cases in the last reported day.

Mask requirements and proof of vaccination orders are being dropped at state and county levels, with local businesses and cities left to make their own decisions.

The numbers reported are still being verified as the reporting agencies strive to confirm cause of death, remove duplicates, verify residence, and catch up to a huge backlog.
