Newest numbers. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) reported a total of 1,448,779 confirmed cases as of 11:59 p.m. on March 22. There have been 12,392 COVID-19 deaths in Washington.

Data note (Monday, March 14): Due to a technical issue in our data systems, the Health Care System Readiness data may be incomplete. DOH also continues to experience delays in reporting cases, hospitalizations, and deaths as a result of prior slowdowns in our data systems during the omicron surge. We are clearing these backlogged cases, hospitalizations, and deaths as resources permit. The COVID-19 Epidemiological Curves tab is the most accurate representation of COVID-19 activity and is updated daily as new cases are identified and duplicates are resolved.
