'We haven't beat this virus yet,' Governor Inslee said, 'and until we do, it has the potential to spread rapidly if we don't continue the measures we've put in place.'
With the number of new coronavirus cases beginning to decrease, evidence from both Washington and Oregon indicates that the coronavirus curve is beginning to flatten because of social distancing.
"We generally do not know if we have peaked in the state until we see about a two or three week decline in all our data indicators, and we have not seen that yet," Washington State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy told KOMO on Wednesday. "We requested this resource before our physical distancing strategies were fully implemented and we had considerable concerns that our hospitals would be overloaded with COVID-19 cases," Inslee said in a Wednesday press release.
