COVID-19 Testing Results Update for Kitsap County as of 2 p.m. on July 9
Moving forward with Safe Start: what you can do
Gov. Jay Inslee paused Safe Start applications until at least July 16, but we are still keeping tabs on Kitsap's progress under the state's guidelines. Detailed data can be viewed in the Kitsap County COVID-19 Risk Assessment Dashboard, which was updated today.
Kitsap residents can help us meet Safe Start measures by:
- Taking steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including staying six feet apart, washing hands, wearing face coverings, and staying home when sick.
- Getting tested for COVID-19 immediately if you feel sick, even if your symptoms are mild.
- Participating in contact tracing. If you get a call from Kitsap Public Health, please respond!
