Delta variant becomes dominant strain in Washington

KXLY July 19, 2021 6:37 PM Matilde Campodonico SPOKANE, Wash. Several places across the country are seeing a rise in coronavirus cases again. The Delta variant has now become the dominant strain of the virus this month, and doctors say this can be particularly dangerous to those who are not vaccinated. The Delta variant account for about 58% of all COVID-19 cases nationwide. In Washington, it’s a much different story. While it is the dominant strain in the state, it only accounts for about 41% of all cases. The main reason? Vaccines. “This is the most contagious version of the virus we have seen throughout the whole pandemic. It’s really really contagious, so if you have significant exposure you are going to see some breakthrough infections,” said physician Dr. Ashish Jha.

Washington hits 70% vaccination milestone, Spokane still lags behind

KXLY July 14, 2021 6:25 PM Rania Kaur Updated: SPOKANE, Wash. A milestone in the fight against COVID-19 has finally been reached in Washington 70 percent of people 16 and older have received at least one COVID vaccine. It’s a goal Washington tried to meet at the end of June, but health officials are not done trying to reach those that are vaccine-hesitant. In Spokane County, only 55.4 percent of the population has received at least one vaccine, and while that number increases by a half of a percent every few days, Dr. Frank Velazquez from Spokane’s Regional Health District is confident that trend will continue.
