This week, Washington State Department of Health changed its COVID-19 data reporting to once a week. We moved our data report to Thursdays to align with that reporting.

These changes also affected COVID-19 death reporting. We don’t have that data this week, but expect to resume that reporting soon.

On Nov. 9:

  • Our current COVID-19 7-day case rate per 100,000 is 48.6 for October 25-31. 
  • Our current 7-day hospitalization rate per 100,000 is .8 for Oct. 23-29. 

Because of an issue with the Electronic Laboratory Reporting system, hospitalization data is likely incomplete.

We confirmed 352 cases for October 30-Nov. 5.

Pierce County's total COVID-19 count is 223,835 cases and 1,537 deaths. Our average cases per day over the past 7 days ending Nov. 5 is 50.

In the last 2 weeks:

  • 14.4% of our cases are younger than 20 years old. People in that age group make up 26.4% of Pierce County’s population. 
  • 23.3% of our cases are ages 20-34. That age group makes up 19.7% of our population.  
  • 22.0% of our cases are ages 35-49. That age group makes up 18.9% of our population.

40.4% of our cases are ages 50 or older. That age group makes up 35% of our population
