Whatcom COVID update: ‘Too early’ to say county reaching a peak, as another death reported

Even though growth on Whatcom County’s COVID-19 epidemiological case curve appears to be slowing, health officials say it’s “too early to say that Whatcom has reached the peak of the current surge.” “Counties in our region such as King and Snohomish appear to be leveling off, but historically our numbers have been a few weeks behind theirs,” Whatcom County Health Department Health Information and Assessment Supervisor Amy Hockenberry told The Bellingham Herald in an emailed statement.
