Officials continue to confirm cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, around Washington state. In total, 31 people in Washington state are known to have died from the disease. As society practices “social distancing” to slow the virus’ spread, many people who can work or learn from home are doing so. Gov. Jay Inslee has banned most events with more than 250 people, and King County has gone even further, prohibiting gatherings even smaller than that unless organizers take steps to mitigate transmission of the virus.
