A timeline of the COVID-19 outbreak in Washington
Since the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in King County, life in the region has been virtually upended as state and local officials try to slow the spread of the virus.
Throughout March, officials passed down a series of unprecedented orders -- closing down schools, businesses and restaurants, with the exception of takeout and delivery -- as the spread of the virus impacted nearly every corner of life. Residents are now trying to settle into what has become a new normal, following social distancing guidelines and staying at home as much as possible.
It's unclear exactly how long these social distancing orders will need to stay in place, but officials have said in recent days what people are doing appears to be working to slow the spread of the virus. That doesn't mean we're in the clear, though. Gov. Jay Inslee last week extended his stay-at-home order through May 4 and earlier this week, he announced schools would not reopen for the rest of the calendar year.
On Thursday, he emphasized that if people let up, and stop social distancing, more people in the state will die.
