Skagit County’s COVID-19 7-day case rate has increased since last week and the county transmission level is now “moderate”. Meanwhile, the countywide 7-day hospitalization rate remains “low”.
Despite the decrease in case and hospitalization rates, elders, particularly those over age 70 with multiple chronic health conditions, continue to be negatively impacted by COVID, including severe illness and death. Encourage your elderly loved ones to get a second bivalent booster if they haven't already.
