- LOPEZ ISLAND: There are 8 new cases on Lopez Island since the last update, just one more than last week.
- ORCAS ISLAND: There are 8 new cases on Orcas Island since the last update, about half the number as last week.
- SAN JUAN ISLAND: There are 48 new cases on San Juan Island since the last update, 10 more than last week. About 22 of
these 48 cases are directly connected to the San Juan Island School District community in some way (students or staff).

These could just be statistical up and down fluctuations, but the SanJuan Island increase looks marginally significant.
