Health Update: COVID-19 Outbreak

Grays Harbor County Public Health & Social Services Department

Current situation:

COVID-19 in Washington Test Results

Positive (confirmed): 1; Negative: 24; PUIs Pending Results: 1; Total tested: 26

Number of people under public health supervision in WA State: 794

 Monitoring process (updated February 14, 2020):

As of February 3, 2020, all travelers coming from China will be screened by Department of Homeland Security and the CDC at SeaTac Airport.

 People with fever and respiratory illness will be isolated by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) medical professional and, if warranted, will be transported to a hospital for a medical evaluation.

 People without fever and respiratory illness who have been to parts of China outside of Hubei province in the past 14 days will be contacted by Washington State Department of Health (with assistance from Grays Harbor Public Health as needed) and asked to quarantine themselves and monitor their health for 14 days before returning to school or work. If they do not develop symptoms during the 14 days, they will return to school or work. If they do develop symptoms, they are asked to contact Grays Harbor Public Health so that we can quickly help them get evaluated by a healthcare provider; in consultation with the WA Department of Health and CDC, we will help arrange testing if appropriate.

 Additional information:

We are following the situation closely, and it is changing rapidly; we will send updates as needed.
