Dec. 20 Thurston County announced 41 more COVID-19 cases on Sunday, giving the county 330 cases so far this week and 4,318 cases to date, county health data show.
The Olympian previously reported weekly COVID-19 totals on Sunday, but due to a change in how the county is reporting the coronavirus data, the full case count for the week of Dec. 14-20 won t be known until Monday, said Schelli Slaughter, director of Thurston County Public Health and Social Services, on Sunday.
The county s 24-hour reporting period used to be from noon to noon the following day. Now, it s midnight to midnight, she said. That change took effect Dec. 8, which means the weekly case totals for Dec. 7-13 were 485, not 435.
