Dec. 20—Thurston County announced 41 more COVID-19 cases on Sunday, giving the county 330 cases so far this week and 4,318 cases to date, county health data show.
The Olympian previously reported weekly COVID-19 totals on Sunday, but due to a change in how the county is reporting the coronavirus data, the full case count for the week of Dec. 14-20 won't be known until Monday, said Schelli Slaughter, director of Thurston County Public Health and Social Services, on Sunday.
The county's 24-hour reporting period used to be from noon to noon the following day. Now, it's midnight to midnight, she said. That change took effect Dec. 8, which means the weekly case totals for Dec. 7-13 were 485, not 435.
