We urge @KingCountyWA residents to follow guidance to reduce the risk of #COVID19 in our community.

There are currently no restrictions on who can be tested for #coronavirus, and commercial testing is becoming more available. Healthcare providers may test any patient in whom they suspect #COVID19.

While testing is becoming more available, there are limitations in healthcare providers' capacity to obtain samples and process lab results rapidly.

Novel #coronavirus (#COVID19) is a new virus strain that emerged in December 2019.

The first case in Washington State was ID'ed Jan. 21 and the first case in King County was ID'ed Feb. 28.

To date, there are 14 total cases in King County, and we expect additional cases. While the vast majority of #COVID19 cases are mild, some populations are vulnerable to serious infections, which can lead to death.

Of the 14 identified cases to date, 5 of those have died.

Our deepest sympathies go out to their families and community.
