374 new Pierce County COVID-19 cases, 1 new death confirmed Dec. 25

December 26, 2020 By Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department Leave a Comment

On Dec. 25, we confirmed 374 new COVID-19 cases and 1 new death:

  • A man in his 90s from Tacoma. He had underlying health conditions.

We have reported 4,092 cases in the last 14 days. Our 14-day case rate per 100,000 is 453.7. Our average cases per day over the last 14 days is 292.3.

Our totals are 24,166 cases and 281 deaths.

Record levels of testing over the past several weeks caught many new cases. The good news is our percent positive percent rate is declining.

Batch processing of tests at some labs can cause reporting delays. With the holidays, we may see more daily case count fluctuations. The 14-day average offers the most accurate look at current COVID-19 disease burden in Pierce County.

With the 6-day data lag, our case rate is at 540.7 per 100,000. The data lag helps to ensure accuracy of our metrics.
