When Washington Reopens, Some Restrictions Will Remain: Inslee
OLYMPIA, WA — Washington state is set to reopen, lifting the bulk of the remaining COVID-19 restrictions by the month's end or sooner. But not all of those restrictions will be going away, according to Gov. Jay Inslee.
"Soon we'll be able to get back to essentially normal operations," Inslee said. "We should be very proud of what we've accomplished in the state of Washington. We have saved thousands of lives, and now we are on the verge, on the cusp, on the doorstep of getting back to full operations."
At a news conference Wednesday, Inslee clarified that, with the guidance of local health leaders, the state had identified a few restrictions that would need to stick around for the foreseeable future.
Right now, the Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery plan limits capacity at worship services, retailers, and restaurants, among others. The bulk of those restrictions will still be going away when Washington reopens. The governor says all industries will be allowed to return to "usual operations" with the caveat that the current mask requirements will remain in place.
