Weekly King County COVID-19 update

King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 07/08/2021 06:51 PM PDT

Key indicators of COVID-19 activity data dashboard updated on July 7th This dashboard previously showed the metrics based on the Governor's phases 1-2-3 of reopening. Now that those phases are no longer in use, it is aligned with the CDC indicators of low-moderate-substantial-high incidence of COVID-19 in a community.
This week, we provided answers to the questions below, with answers linked on our COVID-19 FAQ page Will we need to get a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine? Can you get an mRNA vaccine after you get a J&J vaccine? Would it provide additional protection? Does the COVID-19 vaccine make you magnetic?
What to expect when Washington fully reopens Starting June 30, the State of Washington is removing most COVID-19 restrictions. This means that most businesses and organizations may choose to operate as they did before the COVID-19 pandemic with no capacity limits or physical distancing requirements.
