Latest COVID-19 numbers for local counties

Covid update for GOLD

Cases of COVID-19 continue to accumulate in the area and so here is the latest data for COVID-19 in Grant, Okanogan, Lincoln, and Douglas (GOLD) counties.

Counties need an incident rate of 25 cases or fewer per population of 100,000 in the past 14 days to move forward a phase in the Washington Safe Start Recovery plan, and local counties are far from that goal.

As of August 26, Grant County has: 2,182 cases; 13 deaths; seven cases in the Grand Coulee Dam area; 525 cases in the past 14 days; and as of August 25 has an incident rate of 531.7 per 100,000 population.
