![]() I have decided on this two week pause in consultation with our state Department of Health and experts because we are in a constantly evolving situation and unlike any other time during the pandemic. Obviously, we want that effort to continue because we have a long ways to go to get to a much safer position in the state of Washington. Today, more than 54% of the eligible Washingtonians have received their first dose of the vaccine, and 38% are now fully vaccinated. ![]() ![]() It’s also worked because of the tremendous compliance we’ve had with our requirements for masking and social distancing, and a great credit to this goes to the state of Washington citizens.īefore I talk some more about that, just a word on our vaccinations. That as this virus has thrown us curves, we have responded. And I think our flexibility throughout this pandemic has been one of the reasons we’ve had a great deal of success. And we’re responding to what we’ve learned with that most recent information, as we always have. This decision is based on the information that we’ve been able to analyze just in the last few days, as that has come in on a daily basis. So this is not a change to the phase plan, but we are pausing it for two weeks as we continue to evaluate the changing conditions in the state of Washington. The number of cases per 100,000, the hospitalizations. At the end of the two week pause, we will evaluate the metrics at that time. This means all counties for the next two weeks will stay in the current phase that they’re in this morning. Today I am announcing a two week pause on our phased reopening plan.
