Sixth Positive COVID-19 Test Reported in Stevens County
Northeast Tri County Health District (NETCHD) was notified today, April 8, 2020, of the sixth positive COVID-19 test for Stevens County. This brings the combined total of positive cases for Ferry, Pend Oreille, and Stevens Counties to eight.
The individual who tested positive resides north of Colville and sought medical assistance. NETCHD is notifying potential close contacts and these individuals will be given additional guidance and advised of precautions they should take.
Last week we notified the public of a positive patient who was in critical condition. At the time of this news release, the patient is still hospitalized. The one COVID-19 positive case in Ferry County, one in Pend Oreille County and three Stevens County patients have recovered. The remaining positive patients are safely isolating at home.
As COVID-19 cases in our area increase, our investigations are seeing a common trend relating to exposure, which involve:
• travel or visitation of individuals traveling, to and from out of the area; or
• travel to areas outside the local communities
• interaction with others outside of immediate family when sick with mild symptoms
