517 new Pierce County COVID-19 cases, no new deaths confirmed Dec. 13

December 13, 2020 By Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

Expect fluctuations in our daily case count reports over the weekend. We launched a new data management system, Leo, on Thursday. The 14-day average case count offers you the most reliable look at disease rate in our community until after the Leo launch.

On Dec. 13, we confirmed 517 new COVID-19 cases and no new deaths.

We have reported  4,825 cases in the last 14 days. Our 14-day case rate per 100,000 is 534.9. Our average cases per day over the last 14 days is 344.6.

Our totals are 21,084 cases and 259 deaths.

More people are seeking testing at Pierce County’s mobile sites throughout the county and other testing locations. The sharp increase in recent testing volume can create delays in processing and reporting.

Washington State Department of Health has resumed reporting negative test results, and we’ve resumed updating the weekly positivity rate.

With the 6-day data lag, our case rate is at 338.7 per 100,000. The data lag helps to ensure accuracy of our metrics.
