Please note: those who are considered high risk (individuals over 65 and/or those with underlying health conditions) are encouraged to continue following the Governor’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy guidance through Phase 4
Below is the latest from Coronavirus.WA.Gov
The state is currently in Phase 1. Some counties have been authorized to move into Phase 2.
On May 1, Gov. Jay Inslee announced the extension of his Stay Home, Stay Healthy order through May 31, 2020 and outlined his phased “Safe Start” approach for resuming recreational, social and business activities.
The state will stay in every phase for a minimum of three weeks. This allows public health experts to monitor the impact of reopening. You can view the COVID-19 Risk Assessment dashboard used by the governor and public health leaders to evaluate the risk associated with possible modifications to the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order.
Business activities are not authorized to open until a business is able to meet all safety criteria. Guidance documents will be added to this page as they become available and are also posted on the governor’s website.
Visit our What’s Open page for more information about which personal, recreational and spiritual activities are allowed.

- Workplace safety and health complaints may be submitted to the L&I Call Center: 1-800-423-7233
- General questions from employers about the Safe Start plan can be directed to the state’s Business Response Center.
