Case investigation and contact tracing are essential strategies for limiting the spread of COVID-19, along with face coverings, social distancing, handwashing and testing.

Public Health's Case Investigation and Contact Tracing Team calls King County residents who have recently tested positive for COVID-19 ("cases"). And they call people who were exposed to COVID-19 ("contacts"). The phone calls include an explanation of isolation and quarantine guidelines, how to get testing and support services, and collecting information that helps Public Health's infection control programs.

Updated weekly on Mondays The dashboard below shows the impacts of COVID-19 on communities of color compared to whites in King County, Washington.

The greater Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN) study is a response to the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19). Since March 23rd, 2020, SCAN has worked in collaboration with Public Health Seattle & King County to deliver and collect at-home COVID-19 tests. The SCAN study is focused on testing people who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, and is working to increase testing in underrepresented communities and populations. The SCAN dashboard provides geographic and demographic information from King County about who is ordering a test kit (individuals, contacts and groups) and may differ from the testing data which includes all final results (positive, negative and inconclusive). Reported positives and positivity rate are a combination of general SCAN enrollment and contact testing results, and are not representative of overall population frequency. There was a pause in testing from May 13th through June 9th, during which time SCAN worked with the FDA to update procedures and certifications. Data is updated daily, subject to change and may vary across other technical reports due to the specific analyses being performed.

Updated daily, Monday - Friday This dashboard provides a snapshot of several useful indicators, or measures, related to COVID-19 activity in our community and its impact on our health and our hospitals. These indicators, along with many other data, are key considerations for reviewing current restrictions on activity, recommendations and precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The indicators help determine if current actions are adequate, need to be strengthened, or might be carefully relaxed.

Health profile of King County Housing Authority and Seattle Housing Authority residents

Racial/ethnic health disparities are higher rates of serious health conditions or deaths that affect communities of color. These disparities can result in shorter lifespans and lower quality of life, are rooted in inequities in the opportunities and resources needed for good health, such as education, employment, safe and healthy neighborhoods, and access to health care. These inequities are often the result of current and historical institutionalized racism or explicit racial bias.

Updated weekly on Thursdays Older adults and people with disabilities who live in long term care facilities are at high risk for COVID-19 illness and death. The data below describes the impacts of COVID-19 on the residents and staff of Long Term Care Facilities licensed by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), including Skilled Nursing Facilities (nursing homes); Adult Family Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. Cases and deaths are also occurring in other forms of senior housing not licensed by DSHS, including subsidized housing for people age 50+, Permanent Supportive Housing, and naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) and among people with disabilities living in Supportive Living Facilities (also licensed by DSHS).

Locally and across the United States, social and economic inequities have placed certain communities at higher risk of COVID-19. Public Health - Seattle & King County developed a social and economic risk index (SERI) to examine social and economic disparities in COVID-19 outcomes. This dashboard shows the index at census tract-level for King County. Higher scores on SERI indicate communities with higher levels of social and economic risk, and lower scores indicate lower levels of risk.
