Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene released the following statement in response to the continued spread of the coronavirus. “I am deeply saddened by the news of a death in King County today from the coronavirus, and I extend my condolences to his family and loved ones. I will continue to actively monitor the spread of the virus as new cases are identified in Washington state and across the country. “I commend state and local health officials for their frontline work monitoring, preventing, and managing this emerging threat. Congress and the Administration need to swiftly agree on a supplemental funding package to provide these agencies with the critical resources they need, including backfilling funds that have already been spent combatting the coronavirus.” For questions or concerns about the virus, individuals should consult their health care provider, contact their local health department below, or visit the CDC’s website.
