No additional cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Grays Harbor County since April 12. Grays Harbor Public Health Incident Management Team (IMT) remains prepared to respond if any additional cases are identified.
On April 22, Grays Harbor Public Health Incident Management team learned that a healthcare worker who had worked at Grays Harbor Community Hospital was diagnosed with COVID-19. In collaboration with Grays Harbor Community Hospital and Grays Harbor County Health Officer, our staff completed contact tracing and notified any contacts that were potentially exposed. Please note: Cases of COVID-19 are assigned to the patient’s county of residence. Because this healthcare worker does not live in Grays Harbor County, this case will not be included in our county’s case count.
