On May 31, the Governor’s "Stay Home, Stay Healthy proclamation" will end, and the state will move into a phased reopening plan called "Safe Start". Counties will be able to move between phases as the data demonstrates that it is safe. King County Public Health has published a new
COVID-19 Key Indicators Dashboard
which provides a snapshot of several metrics related to COVID-19 activity in the community. For other useful dashboards, visit the
King County COVID-9 Data Dashboards website
