Though COVID-19 infection rates have risen dramatically among all age groups during the fall surge, Whatcom County Health Director Erika Lautenbach said “the magnitude” of cases continues to be highest among those under the age of 60.

“In particular, those between the ages 18 and 39 make up the bulk of our new cases,” Lautenbach said during an online briefing Tuesday, Dec. 8. “Those between 26 and 39 are seeing the highest rate — that age range is approaching 450 cases per 100,000 residents.”
