54 new Pierce County COVID-19 cases, 0 new deaths confirmed October 19

October 19, 2020 By The Suburban Times

On Oct. 19, we confirmed 54 new COVID-19 cases and 0 new deaths.  

Our totals are 9,169 cases and 185 deaths.  

We have reported 998 cases in the last 14 days. Our 14-day case rate per 100,000 is 110.6. Our average cases per day over the last 14 days is 71.3. 

With the 6-day data lag, our case rate is at 90.6 per 100,000. The data lag helps to ensure accuracy and is a required element of Safe Start metrics for movement into phases and other re-opening requirements, such as schools. 

  • Fewer people seek testing and labs have lower staffing levels on weekends. Sometimes numbers in the early part of the week are low because of this. 
  • The 30-39 age group comprise the highest number of COVID-19 cases at 20.8% of total cases in the past 2 weeks. 
  • Those under 20 make up 11.5% of the total number of cases and 15.4% of cases in the past 2 weeks. 

If you have symptoms or may have had contact with someone who has COVID-19, please get tested! 

See our Safe Start dashboard for testing information and other local data we’re tracking for the governor’s Safe Start Washington Plan.
