COVID-19 transmission increasing in Eastern Washington, dropping in Western Washington, report says

A new report released Tuesday evening from the Washington Department of Health details increasing COVID-19 transmission rates in eastern Washington, while the virus transmission appears to be decreasing in western Washington.

The latest statewide modeling estimates the effective reproductive number, which is the measure of how many new infections a single COVID-19 case will produce.

If the reproductive number is below one, that means the number of new COVID-19 cases are declining.

The data based on May 3-12 found the reproductive number was below one in western Washington and above one in Eastern Washington. If you exclude Yakima County from the data, eastern Washington's reproductive number remains just barely above one.
