RICHLAND A Washington judge has blocked some coronavirus-related restrictions on farms and orchards meant to protect farmworkers.
Yakima County Superior Court Judge Blaine Gibson issued an injunction last week that stops the state from enforcing a series of regulations to protect workers from the virus, the Tri-City Herald reported.
The now-blocked rules had required twice-daily visits from medical staff to isolated workers; required workers to be within 20 minutes of an emergency room and an hour from a ventilator; and provided workers open access to people in the community.
