Covid-19 cases decline in region; first week of no increase in region

IN KEEPING WITH TRENDS STATEWIDE over the past few weeks, active cases of Covid-19 are declining. While this pattern may be a result of a complicated array of factors, including vaccinations, human isolation during severe winter weather, and incidence of testing, one thing we can observe from the statistics we have reported for the counties on this map since April 2020 is this: for the first time since we began tracking DSHS numbers, every county on our map this week either saw a decline or remained even. Please continue measures for preventing the spread so this direction will continue!
