To limit the spread of COVID-19, King County opened the Clarion Hotel in Auburn as a quarantine and isolation center while omicron cases surge throughout the area.<\/p>\n
The hotel, 9 16th Street <\/a>NW<\/a>, was purchased by the county in 2021 as part of the Health Through Housing program, which provides housing for people experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n The isolation and quarantine site offers 100 private rooms for people to quarantine and isolate if they are infected with COVID-19. The center is for people who can’t safely isolate themselves from roommates or family members.<\/p>\n The center is free and has 24-hour security and health services available for the people quarantining in the center.<\/p>\n The center will operate as a quarantine center until it is no longer needed, at which point it will be returned to Health Through Housing, according to the county.<\/p>\n To access the quarantine services, call the King County COVID-19 Call Center at 206-477-3977 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily to learn more.<\/p>\n As of Jan. 5, King County is averaging 2,477 new cases of COVID-19 every day. There are 26 daily new hospitalizations due to COVID-19 in King County and one daily death, according to the King County COVID-19 dashboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To limit the spread of COVID-19 for those who cannot safely isolate themselves <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1016,"featured_media":54085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,24],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-54084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home2","category-northwest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54084"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1016"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54084"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=54084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
