Hospitalizations in King county

COVID-19 Case Numbers as of Friday, May 6, 2022

The numbers reported in this article 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 from January's surge.

Public Health also advises that the case numbers are most certainly underreported as people have access to home test kits and are either asymptomatic or mildly ill and recovering at home. They are watching the hospitalization numbers as an indicator.

There are increasing numbers of breakthrough cases with fully vaccinated people getting COVID-19. However, most of those cases are light enough to recover at home. Most people who now get COVID-19 are not going to the hospital and are not dying from the infection. Unvaccinated people are still extremely vulnerable as they have been throughout the pandemic.
