While 5 Whatcom regions saw COVID infection rates drop, one rose for second straight week

While one of Whatcom County’s seven school district regions saw its COVID-19 infection rate increase for the second straight week, five others saw their rates continue to drop.

The region covered by the Blaine School District was the only region to see its rate of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over the past two weeks increase, when the Whatcom County Health Department released its newest location data on Tuesday, June 29.

Despite that slight increase, Blaine remained one of four regions with rates below triple figures.
