Twenty-two more Washingtonians succumbed to covid-19 in the 24 hours since the previous Department of Health update — an 8.4% increase since Thursday.

This brought the state’s death toll to 284. Last Friday, March 27, the death toll stood at 175.

The number of confirmed cases rose to 6,966 — a growth rate of under 6% and an addition of 381 infections. This total does not include a positive result reported in Wahkiakum County on Friday.

This leaves only Pacific and Garfield among the state’s 39 counties without any official coronavirus cases.
