add WA Notify to their smartphones will be alerted if they spent time near another WA Notify user who later tests positive for COVID-19.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">Officials stated that the app uses privacy-preserving technology jointly developed by Google and Apple to remain anonymous without collecting or revealing any location or personal data of users.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">The app is available in 29 language and is free to download on iPhone or Android devices.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div

undercount due to staffing and processing slowdowns related to the holiday.<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">Over the weekend, there were 411 positive cases on Saturday and 267 cases on Sunday<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">More people are seeking testing at Pierce County\u2019s mobile sites throughout the county, and the sharp increase in recent testing volume has caused delays in processing and reporting.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">The department continues to play catch up and report cases from 2 to 3 days ago in addition to cases from yesterday.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">In addition, Washington State Department of Health has suspended negative test reporting during the unprecedented surge of testing results, and consequently the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Dept won&#8217;t update the test positivity rate and number of total daily tests charts until state DOH resolves it backlog.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div class=\"li\">The County&#8217;s 14-day case rate per 100,000 people is 371.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level2\">\n<div
