None of the deaths were associated with a Long-Term Care Facility. All four residents had underlying conditions putting them at higher risk of severe complications due to a COVID-19 infection:
- Male Coulee City resident in his 70s
- Male Moses Lake resident in his 70s
- Male Quincy resident in his 70s
- Male Moses Lake resident in his 80s
Grant County Health District is saddened by these deaths and our hearts are with their family and friends. On behalf of our staff, Grant County Health Officer, and Board of Health, we are so sorry for your loss.
Grant County Health District delays the announcement of COVID-19 associated deaths to give families time to notify their loved ones. We also verify COVID-19 is listed as a cause of death on the death certificate to ensure we are not reporting deaths that are not attributed to COVID-19. All reported deaths of Grant County residents are attributed to COVID-19 and were verified with the death certificate, testing, and other case information.
Please continue to consistently take steps that prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Wear a face covering anytime you are in public or around people you do not live with.
- Stay home if you feel sick, are under quarantine or isolation orders, or have been told you are a close contact to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
- Use physical distancing and stay 6 feet away from others as much as possible when you are in public or at work.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially before eating or coming home. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- If you are eligible to get vaccinated for COVID-19 – don’t hesitate, vaccinate! To find out if you are eligible go to www.FindYourPhaseWA.org.

GCHD is reporting twenty-five (25) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=21, antigen=4). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, and Soap Lake. Demographics can be found above.
We’ve been saying the same things for many months, but today we’d like to again remind you not to gather with people you don’t live with. Any time people get together COVID-19 can spread and it can spread from people who don’t know they are sick. Gathering virtually or only with the people you live with is the safest way to celebrate the big game this year. It’s not forever, it’s just for now.
February 4, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting forty-seven (47) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=19, antigen=28). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Grand Coulee area, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City, and Soap Lake. Demographics are above.
Thinking about getting together for the big game this weekend? The safest decision for you and your family and friends is not to gather with people you don’t live with. Here are some ideas to help you celebrate while staying apart:
- Take the cheering online | Even though you can’t get together in person, a virtual watch party is a great way to catch the big game. Put on your team gear and yell at the screen with your friends via video chat.
- Surprise delivery | Missing your game day tailgate? Order takeout and have it delivered to a friend who will also be enjoying the game from home. Perhaps this act of kindness will bring the positive vibes your team needs. I mean, it can’t hurt, right?
- B-I-N-G-O | Before the game starts, create and email custom bingo boards to all your friends and family watching at home. Make each square something that could happen during the game. Think: Touchdown dance. Penalty kick. Coach yelling at a ref. Failed extra point. Etc. Bingo winner earns bragging rights until the next game or come up with a prize amongst your group. You can get a game card from DOH by clicking here.

GCHD is reporting twenty-five (25) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=8, antigen=17). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
February 2, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting twenty-eight (28) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=5, antigen=23). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, and Royal City. Demographics are above.
The incidence rate per 100,000 residents over the last 14 days continues to drop which is great. Keep wearing masks, washing your hands, and using physical distancing. Also, staying home when you feel sick, if you were diagnosed with COVID, or have been in contact with someone who was diagnosed with COVID stops the disease from spreading. We can all do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our communities!
February 1, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting seventy-six (76) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=42, antigen=34). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be found above.
The COVID-19 vaccine supply is still very low. This week the Washington Department of Health had requests for over 358,000 first doses from providers across the state. Unfortunately, the first-dose allocation was only 107,000 doses. That amount gets spread out across the state, including to local healthcare facilities and mass vaccination sites. Eventually there will be more vaccine, but in the meantime, everyone needs to be patient.
January 29, 2021 – 6:00pm
GCHD is reporting twenty-three (23) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=13, antigen=10). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, and Royal City. Demographics can be found above.

The Roadmap to Recovery metrics were updated today. Unfortunately, the North Central Region Grant County is a part of will remain in Phase 1. Governor Inslee updated the plan so regions only need to meet 3 of the 4 metrics instead of all 4. The North Central Region only met 1 metric. Starting today, the Roadmap to Recovery metrics will be assessed every 2 weeks instead of every week so the next report won’t be out until February 12th. The Roadmap to Recovery Dashboard can be seen on the WA COVID website.
January 27, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting twenty-three (23) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=5, antigen=18). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be found above.
Grant County Health District is reporting seven (7) additional confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths of Grant County residents. These deaths bring the total Grant County confirmed COVID-19 related deaths to one hundred and five (105).

GCHD is reporting fifty-three (53) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=17, antigen=36). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City, and Soap Lake. Demographics can be seen above.
Grant County’s rate of COVID-19 over 14 days per 100,000 residents is slowly declining. To keep it moving in the right direction, everyone needs to continue doing their part to limit the spread of COVID-19 like wearing a face covering anytime you are around people you don’t live with and staying home if you feel sick or have been told to quarantine because you’ve been around someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19. You can also wash your hands, use physical distancing, and not gather with people you don’t live with. It’s not forever; it’s just for now.
January 25, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting seventy-nine (79) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=42, antigen=37). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, Warden and Wilson Creek area. Demographics can be found above.

These deaths bring the total deaths at Lake Ridge as a result of the November outbreak to twenty (20):
- Female in her 70s
- Male in his 80s

Each death is a loss to family, friends, and our communities. Grant County Health District grieves the loss and our hearts are with their family and friends. On behalf of our staff, Grant County Health Officer, and Board of Health, we are so sorry for your loss.
Grant County Health District delays the announcement of COVID-19 associated deaths to give families time to notify their loved ones. We also verify COVID-19 is listed as a cause of death on the death certificate to ensure we are not reporting deaths that are not attributed to COVID-19. All reported deaths of Grant County residents are attributed to COVID-19 and were verified with the death certificate, testing, and other case information.
The Washington Department of Health announced over the weekend that the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 has been identified in Washington State. This variant is more contagious, meaning it is easier to spread from one person to others, but it does not appear to change the severity of infection. A higher rate of transmission could lead to more cases, increasing the number of people who need hospitalization and further burdening an already strained health care system. If more people get the virus, it could also mean an increase in deaths like other surges we have had.
While this is concerning, we already know what to do since the same precautions we have been using for the last 10 months will still work for this new variant. Now it is even more important than ever that we all continue to consistently take steps that prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Wear a face covering anytime you are in public or around people you do not live with.
- Stay home if you feel sick, are under quarantine or isolation orders, or have been told you are a close contact to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
- Use physical distancing and stay 6 feet away from others as much as possible when you are in public or at work.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially before eating or coming home. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- If you are eligible to get vaccinated for COVID-19 – don’t hesitate, vaccinate! To find out if you are eligible go to www.FindYourPhaseWA.org.
We need everyone to do their part to slow the spread to ensure our healthcare facilities are not overwhelmed. Each personal decision we make will impact our most vulnerable residents. Our most vulnerable community members — elderly, immunocompromised, and those with chronic conditions — are especially at risk of complications due to a COVID-19 infection and we must continue to take measures to protect them from this disease. Everyone can do their part to protect one another and limit the spread of illness in our communities!
January 22, 2021 – 6:00pm
GCHD is reporting sixty-two (62) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=40, antigen=22). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
Today, the Washington State Department of Health announced that based on the Roadmap to Recovery phased reopening plan, all eight (8) regions in Washington will remain in Phase 1 until at least Monday, February 1, 2021. A new dashboard was launched to see details and track the different metrics. It can be seen here.
The North Central region that Grant County is a part of only met 2 of the 4 metrics required to move to Phase 2 of the plan. A region must meet all 4 metrics to move to the next phase. Phase announcements are made every Friday.
January 21, 2021 – 5:00pm
GCHD is reporting thirty-five (35) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=8, antigen=27). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City and Soap Lake. Demographics can be seen above.
It’s been one year since COVID-19 was officially announced in Washington State. A year filled with challenges, grief, loss, frustration, and anger, but we also saw some smiles, laughter, and people looking out for one other along the way. It has also been a year of resilience. We still have a ways to go to get to the other side of this pandemic together and it’s ok if you’re not feeling ok. If 2021 holds anything, it’s hope. We’re still all in this together!
January 20, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting forty-six (46) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=35, antigen=11). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
Grant County is seeing somewhat of a plateau in the incidence rate of COVID-19 for the last 14 days per 100,000 residents. To get that rate to drop, we all must continue doing our part to not only “flatten the curve” but get it moving downward. Wear a face covering anytime you are around people you don’t live with, stay home and isolate if you feel sick or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, stay home and quarantine if you have been around someone diagnosed with COVID-19, wash your hands, use physical distancing in public as much as possible, and if you are eligible to get vaccinated make an appointment or get put on a waitlist!
January 19, 2021 – 5:00pm
GCHD is reporting thirty-eight (38) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=10, antigen=28). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
We know many people are not only eligible to get vaccinated for COVID-19, but also eager to do so. We understand your frustration that there is not enough vaccine for everyone to get it who wants it. There are an estimated 1.7 million people in phase 1B1 that was opened yesterday, but Washington is only getting 100,000 doses per week to distribute across the state. Many counties are still trying to vaccinate their healthcare workers who are eligible under phase 1A. Vaccine shortage will continue to be an issue, both locally and around the state. Please be patient. If a provider is offering a waitlist, please sign up! Grant County providers are committed to delivering all the vaccine they get into the arms of those who want it. Right now, there are just more arms than doses available.
January 18, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting one hundred and thirty-four (134) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=62, antigen=72). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
GREAT NEWS – Phase 1B is now eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations! The good news is it has been expanded to include anyone over the age of 65 as well as those over 50 who live in multigenerational housing.The bad news WA is only currently getting 100,000 doses per week for the whole state and millions are now eligible. Please be patient if you are eligible, but can’t get a vaccination yet. Your healthcare providers, Grant County Health District, and the state are working towards getting more vaccine into our county. Everyone who wants to get vaccinated will, eventually. Until then, we will all have to be patient.
Go to FindYourPhaseWA.org to see if you qualify, get your eligibility confirmation and find out where you can get the vaccine near you in the coming weeks.

The newest Roadmap to Recovery report released today shows that no regions in WA are moving to Phase 2 next week, including the North Central Region we are a part of. While the rate of PCR confirmed cases and hospitalizations over the last 14 days are down, the average percent of occupied staffed ICU beds was 90% and the PCR test positivity rate in the region is 12%. All four metrics of the Roadmap to Recovery plan must be met to move to Phase 2. The full report can be seen by clicking here.

If you are eligible under Phase 1A1 or 1A2 to get a COVID vaccination and have not been vaccinated yet, but want to, a list of facilities in Grant County who are accepting appointments is available on our website, https://granthealth.org/2019-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/. You must be eligible under Phase 1A to make an appointment at this time, which includes all healthcare workers and high risk first responders.
January 12, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting forty-three (43) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=19, antigen 24). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Grand Coulee area, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, Soap Lake, and Wilson Creek area. Demographics can be found above.
Unfortunately, the trend in both daily cases and our 2-week incidence rate is going up. Please continue using all known precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including wearing a face covering anytime you are around people you don’t live with, washing your hands, and staying home if you feel sick, have been diagnosed with COVID-19, or identified as a close contact.
|We know many people are also wanting to add getting their COVID-19 vaccination to that list and we are excited about that. Unfortunately, vaccine is still in limited supply and only those in Phase 1A are currently eligible to get it. There are many people in Grant County who are eligible and have not taken advantage of getting vaccinated. If you are eligible, don’t hesitate – Vaccinate!
January 11, 2020 – 6:00pm

We have updated our COVID-19 FAQ website with some information on the COVID-19 vaccine, including which phase is currently eligible to get a vaccination. We will be adding a list of healthcare facility names this week that are open to anyone who is eligible to be vaccinated. Currently anyone in phase 1A is eligible for vaccination which includes anyone in a healthcare setting, high-risk first responders, and residents and staff of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other community-based, congregate living settings where most individuals over 65 years of age are receiving care, supervision, or assistance. More information on the COVID vaccine can be found on our FAQ page.

GCHD is reporting seventy-seven (77) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update (PCR=47, antigen=30). Cases are residents of Coulee City area, Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Warden, and Wilson Creek area. Demographics can be seen above.
How do vaccines work?
“The COVID-19 vaccine teaches your immune system to recognize the coronavirus. When you get the vaccine, your immune system makes antibodies (“fighter cells”) that stay in your blood and protect you in case you are infected with the virus. You get protection against the disease without having to get sick.
When enough people in the community can fight off the coronavirus, it has nowhere to go. This means we can stop the spread quicker and get a little closer to ending this pandemic.”

COVID-19 Vaccine Update
A vaccine is the most effective tool available to combat the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is our best “shot” at getting back to normal. Additional healthcare facilities in Grant County were approved this week to receive and administer COVID-19 vaccine bringing the total number of facilities that may get vaccine to 5. Three facilities have already received and began giving vaccinations over the last 3 weeks. GCHD is hopeful the additional facilities will receive allocations of COVID-19 vaccine soon so they can reach additional members of our communities eligible to get vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccine is still very limited. Currently, only people that qualify under Phase 1A may be given a COVID-19 vaccine. The goal of Phase 1A is to protect those at highest risk of exposure who are needed to maintain a functioning healthcare system and to protect highly vulnerable populations. This phase includes:
- High-risk workers in health care settings such as doctors and nurses,
- High-risk first responders such as EMS, and
- Residents and staff of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other community-based, congregate living settings where most residents are over the age of 65.
On January 6, 2021, the WA Department of Health announced an online tool called PhaseFinder. PhaseFinder goes through a series of brief questions to determine your eligibility. Currently, this tool will only determine eligibility for the vaccine right now as part of Phase 1A. In the coming weeks as plans for future phases are confirmed, this tool will allow people to determine into which future phase they fall under. The tool can be found at www.FindYourPhaseWA.org.
DOH also announced the tiers of the next phase of vaccination, Phase 1B. Phase 1B is not eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination yet. The announcement was made so healthcare facilities and GCHD can begin to prepare for the next phase to open. The first tier of Phase 1B will include those over the age of 70 and those over 50 living in a multi-generational household. Phase 1B may open as early as January 18th depending on vaccine availability and how many people in Phase 1A still need to receive a vaccination. Grant County Health District will announce when Phase 1B is eligible to get their vaccination. More information on Phase 1B can be found on the DOH website: https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/Vaccine.
January 6, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting an additional forty-eight (48) cases since our last update (PCR=16, antigen=32). Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, Quincy area Royal City, and Warden. Demographics can be seen above.
Our daily case count and incidence rate per 100,000 residents over the last 2 weeks is trending down! This is good news and definitely something to celebrate*. Even though our rates are coming down, they are still really high (remember when 6 cases a day seemed like a lot…). Please remember to keep using all COVID-19 precautions like wearing a mask in public, washing your hands, and staying home when you feel sick. If you are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination under Phase 1A, you can add, get vaccinated to that list! The vaccine is our best shot at getting back to normal!
*with your own household and some good, preferably healthy, snacks. Celebrations aren’t really celebrations without snacks.
January 5, 2021 – 5:30pm
GCHD is reporting fifty-three (53) additional cases of COVID-19 since our last update. Cases are residents of Ephrata, Mattawa area, Moses Lake, rural Othello, Quincy area, Royal City, and Wilson Creek area. Demographics can be seen above.
Today, Governor Inslee announced a new “Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery” plan that will go into effect on Monday, January 11th. The new plan will use a regional approach with Grant County grouped together with Okanogan, Chelan, and Douglas counties to form the North Central Region. Currently there are 2 phases outlined and all regions will start in Phase 1. Moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2 will be assessed on a weekly basis using the following metrics:
- Decreasing trend in two-week rate of COVID-19 cases per 100K population (decrease >10%)
- Decreasing trend in two-week rate new COVID-19 hospital admission rates per 100K population (decrease >10%)
- ICU occupancy (total — COVID-19 and non-COVID-19) of less than 90%
- COVID-19 test positivity rate of <10%
More information including how the regions are defined and how a county remains in Phase 2 can be found in the full media release: https://medium.com/wagovernor/inslee-announces-healthy-washington-roadmap-to-recovery-229b880a6859
