OLYMPIA, Wash. —
Washington state launched an online form so businesses can get clarification on what qualifies as essential under Gov. Jay Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” proclamation.
The order forces “non-essential” businesses to shut down for two weeks.
While this closure will last two weeks, state officials will re-evaluate the situation as more and more people are expected to test positive.
Businesses are urged to use this portal for up-to-date information and clarification on essential status.
