Health officials in Washington on June 13 published a report warning of a surge in CCP virus cases in the eastern and western sides of the state, as it continues to move forward with its phased reopening plan.

In a situation report issued by the Washington Department of Health on Saturday, state epidemiologists noted that the counties of Benton, Yakima, Spokane, and Franklin in the eastern side of the state have seen a particularly significant increase in cases of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly referred to as the novel coronavirus.
