The Washington State Department of Health reported 2,328 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Sunday.

The department is no longer reporting deaths on weekends.

Statewide totals have reached 202,063 cases and 2,879 deaths, up from 199,735 cases Saturday.

The department cautioned that Sunday’s case counts could include up to 2,600 duplicates. Negative results dating back to Nov. 21 as well as positive results from Nov. 30-Dec. 6 are incomplete, the department’s website says.

“The Epidemiologic Curves tab is the most accurate representation of COVID activity and is updated daily as new cases are identified and duplicates are resolved,” the site says.

King County continues to report the state’s highest counts for cases (53,927) and deaths (912), while Spokane County has 21,361 cases and 276 deaths.

Pierce County reported 517 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, bringing its totals to 21,084 cases and 259 deaths.

There are 1,394 cases that have not been assigned to a county.

There have been 3,347,903 tests conducted in the state with 6% coming back positive.
