All seven regions within Whatcom County saw their two-week COVID-19 infection rates decrease last week — the first time that’s occurred since the Whatcom County Health Department began releasing those rates in late July.

The closest the county previously came to accomplishing the feat was Aug. 17, when five of the seven school district regions saw decreases from the Aug. 10 report and rates from the other two were unchanged.
