in #CASE you missed it… New coronavirus quarantine facility in North Bend

Well I tweeted about it back on Jan 16th at 9am to our friends at King 5 News about a virus that was spreading in China yet it was being kept under wraps and then you can see a day later another news outlet started sharing the story.

Now let’s fast forward 3 weeks and the entire world has come to learn of the Corona Virus. It’s spread has reached global proportions and here in Everett WA we had one of the first patients who was in quarantine, now finally released.

With the growing awareness and concern a new quarantine facility is being used in North Bend. Yep just beyond the out let stores and great deals will be a second facility for travelers coming into Seattle.

The state Department of Health coordinated with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to use Washington State Patrol's fire training academy off I-90 in North Bend.

Now they say they don’t expect to use it but you know “just in case”…. More than 500 people have died of novel coronavirus, the vast majority of them in China.
