Island County Public Health is investigating a number of confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 associated with employees of Walgreens, Walmart, and IDEX, all located in Oak Harbor.

A press release Friday afternoon laid out dates of potential public exposure for the first two businesses.

Walgreens was closed Friday with a note in the drive-thru window indicating a “temporary closure.”

Shoppers are warned potential public exposure there was between March 22-27.

Walmart, which remains open, has potential exposure dates of March 23-30.

IDEX is not open to the public.

There are 122 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Island County as of 3:30 Friday afternoon, with 95 on Whidbey and 27 on Camano.

All four confirmed coronavirus-related deaths in the county have been on Whidbey.

Island County Public Health asks all residents to take urgent action to help minimize the health impacts of COVID-19 and honor Governor Jay Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order, which has been extended through May 4.
