RITZVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Health officials are asking more than 300 attendees of a wedding near Ritzville on Nov. 7 to get tested for COVID-19 after several people tested positive.

The Grant County Health District said in a news release Monday that anyone who attended the wedding is being asked to quarantine through Nov. 21.

County officials said as of Monday, 17 county residents have tested positive and that attendees diagnosed with COVID-19 have also been linked to two subsequent outbreaks. Officials said they were alerting the public because they won't be able to otherwise find every person who attended the event.

At the time of the wedding ceremonies had been limited to 30 people. As of Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee has prohibited receptions and is putting in place other restrictions in an effort to stem a recent spike in cases of the coronavirus that threatens to overwhelm the health care system.

1. Fine them all

In some provinces in Canada, they are handing out $1800 fines for attending gatherings over the limit. Stupid effing people.

3. We were invited to a wedding reception in October.

I told my husband we weren't going because they're Trump humpers and I'm sure no one will be wearing a mask. They'll all be dog drunk and hanging all over people. No thanks!

4. Anyone been to Ritzville? 300 would be 1/2 the town

Two bars and a gas station is pretty much all I've ever seen of that little burg.

5. There are a couple of gas stations in town

I stopped there for gas after working in Cheney earlier this year.

But you're right. Otherwise it's not very large.
