Yakima County had the highest rate of cases in Washington with 1579.46 per 100,000, according to a P-I analysis of data from the department of health and the U.S. Census Bureau.
The data in the slideshow above comes from the Washington State Department of Health which means there could be discrepancies with numbers individual local governments are reporting on a given day. The DOH is currently reporting confirmed cases and deaths daily with numbers accurate as of 11:59 p.m the previous day.
As the outbreak spreads each day to more counties, Gov. Jay Inslee has taken more action to force people to practice social distancing. At the beginning of May, he extended his "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order through May 31 and introduced four phases in reopening Washington's economy. For an explainer on the news and what this means, click here.
