On Tuesday, the Kitsap Public Health District reported 12 new positive cases of COVID-19, bringing the countywide total of positive cases to 954 since March.

A total of 83 cases are considered “active” by the district, meaning they are “confirmed and probable COVID cases … participating in daily monitoring.” Another 228 were categorized as “active contacts” or individuals determined to be close contacts of a lab-confirmed case and are participating in daily monitoring.

A total of nine people in Kitsap County have had COVID-19 associated deaths, six of whom have been confirmed since late July, according to the health district. The seven-day average for the percentage of positive cases is nearly 5 percent.
