Key indicators of COVID-19 activity in King County

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.

These indicators are based on the document released by Washington State Department of Health on May 16, 2020, Key Metrics to Guide Public Health Decision-Making during the COVID-19 Pandemic (PDF).
