As mass COVID-19 vaccination sites in Washington reach 100,000 doses given, Spokane County continues to report new cases, with 77 on Sunday.

The Spokane Regional Health District has reported 37,684 cases of COVID-19 since the virus first arrived in the county last March. There was one new COVID-19 death reported Sunday, with a total of 591 deaths since March 2020.

Statewide there have been more than 325,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 5,041 deaths as of Saturday, according to the Department of Health. The department does not report new statewide case numbers on Sundays.

Over the past six weeks, the Department of Health has administered nearly 100,000 vaccine doses at mass vaccination sites, with nearly 20,000 of those doses in Spokane.
