Data Reporting:
Please note that the data provided here are tentative and subject to change. Due to system delays, we are not able to provide data for the number of tests administered in Ferry, Pend Oreille, or Stevens Counties. Please visit Washington State Department of Health website for statewide test reporting.
Note on the Number of Infections:
Public health experts agree that the true number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 greatly exceeds the number of COVID-19 infections that have been laboratory-confirmed. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people in the Tri County area have been infected to date since most people with COVID-19 experience mild or no symptoms.

Lab Positive Cases: Reports the total number of PCR positive cases and Antigen positive cases in Ferry, Pend Oreille and Stevens Counties. While deaths are reported separately this number would include any positive cases that also resulted in death.
Total Tests Completed: Information for the total number of tests completed for each county can be found on the Washington State Department of Health's COVID-19 Dashboard.
Hospitalized: Information for the total number of cumulative hospitailizations for each county can be found Washington State Department of Health's COVID-19 Dashboard.
Recovered Cases: While we would like to be able to report on the number of recovered cases, we simply do not have a reliable or accurate way to track this data. Many individuals infected with COVID-19 show mild or no symptoms, will not require medical care, and are never tested. We do know that many of our confirmed cases are improving and being released from isolation, but without a uniform definition of the term "recovered" we can only accurately report confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
