blankpaper 21 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Gov. Jay Inslee is ordering all Washington residents to stay at home, except for crucial activities like buying groceries, seeking medical care or going to work at essential businesses. The new order, which Inslee was set to announce in a live televised address at 5:30 p.m. Monday, also requires closure of non-essential businesses, to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus. The stay-at-home order goes into effect immediately, and will last for two weeks, the governor’s office said. It bans all gatherings of people for social, spiritual and recreational purposes, whether by public or private groups. That includes weddings and funerals. Any non-essential businesses still operating must close in 48 hours. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/inslee-to-hold-televised-address-monday-evening-to-announce-enhanced-strategies-on-covid-19/ reality’s tight if the music is right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToCult 42,001 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I’m optimistic that waiting a little longer than California and other states to take this kind of action will have a positive impact on our curve. We’re already seeing a stabilization of positive results and we’ve had better testing than most states. Hopefully all goes well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister G 10,513 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Delaware announced this yesterday but goes into effect tomorrow morning. Our Governor is a bit of a late bloomer with taking action but better late than never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
