SEATTLE, WA — Lab testing has confirmed nearly 9,100 cases of the new coronavirus in Washington since the outbreak began, and 421 people have died, according to data posted by the state health department Wednesday.

The latest numbers, which account for all cases confirmed by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, included 415 additional illnesses since the last update and 27 additional deaths.

Just two Washington counties, Garfield and Pacific, have reported no confirmed cases during the outbreak.

Across the nation, authorities in New York state reported 779 deaths over 24 hours and 275 people died in New Jersey. The New York Times reports more than 7,700 people have died between the two states — more than the rest of the U.S. combined.
