Kitsap Health District releases Safe Start report card 

Gov. Jay Inslee paused all county Safe Start applications until at least July 16. Kitsap County remains in Phase 2. In the meantime, Kitsap Public Health District (KPHD) is tracking all targets that must be met to move forward to Phase 3.

The Kitsap County Safe Start Report Card gives a snapshot of where the county stands in five risk assessment areas: COVID-19 activity, healthcare system readiness, testing, case investigations and contact tracing, and the protection of populations at higher risk.

The targets reflect recommendations from the Washington State Department of Health. More details are available on KPHD's COVID-19 Risk Assessment Dashboard.

Gov. Jay Inslee issued a proclamation on July 9 authorizing the Department of Social and Health Services to expand eligibility for the agency’s Family Emergency Assistance Program to include individuals and families without children. It goes into effect immediately, expires at the end of the state of emergency and does not require legislative approval for extension.
