County leaders say COVID-19 case rates remain flat, are hopeful to remain in Phase 3 Posted: May 11, 2021
Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers said COVID-19 case rates remain stable.
Snohomish County leaders said during a May 11 briefing that due to stable COVID-19 case rates they are hopeful the county will be able to remain in Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery reopening plan when Gov. Jay Inslee’s statewide two-week pause on counties’ phase movement is expected to end next week.
“Given that our numbers appear to be flat and not increasing I think that’s good news,” Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers said. “I can’t speak for the governor’s office obviously, but I would expect that at this point hopefully the pause will continue and we can continue on this flat trajectory and hopefully start seeing the curve go down.”
