Both Clark County’s recent COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are high enough that the county would move back into Phase 2 of “Healthy Washington” reopening if numbers don’t drop.
Clark County Public Health’s May 11 update puts the county at 276.6 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population in the past 14 days, up from 250 cases per 100,000 the week prior. The county also saw its hospital admission rate rise to 5.2 individuals per 100,000 population in the past seven days, up from 3.8 per 100,000 last week.
In order to remain in Phase 3, Clark County would need to drop its recent case rate to below 200 per 100,000 in 14 days, and below 5 per 100,000 in COVID-19 hospital admissions in seven days. The next evaluation by the state for counties to move phases is next week, following a two-week pause announced by Gov. Jay Inslee last week.
