Posted in coronavirus updates, tagged , , , , on May 29, 2020| Leave a Comment »

As Island County moves into Phase 2 of the Safe Start reopening plan, there was a stark reminder Friday the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet.

Camano Island recorded its first death from the novel coronavirus, a woman “in her forties with pre-existing medical conditions.”

It’s the 11th COVID-19 related death in the county, with the other 10 deaths on Whidbey Island.

Ten of the 11 deaths are linked to long-term care facilities.

This marks just the third time the Island County Health Department has sent out a press release dealing specifically with a COVID-19 death.

The two previous times came on March 19, when Island County recorded its first death, and March 30, when two deaths were noted.

There are 180 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county as of May 28, with 143 on Whidbey and 37 on Camano.

The Island County Health Department recorded 10 more confirmed cases of COVID-19 and a seventh death in its Wednesday update.

There are currently 155 cases in the county, with 122 on Whidbey and 33 on Camano. All deaths have come on Whidbey.

The health department also released a COVID-19 case summary for the month of March.

The county’s first confirmed case came March 9, and the report covers 114 positive cases between March 9-31.

The report shows Coupeville as the hardest-hit part of the county, though those numbers are greatly skewed by a cluster at Careage of Whidbey.

When the numbers from the care facility are removed, Camano has the highest numbers.
