Washington restaurant owners and industry groups are calling on the Legislature to allow them to reopen their doors, but if they were hoping for fast action, they’re going to be disappointed.

The Washington State Governor’s Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery plan went into effect on 1/11/21. The regional approach focuses on COVID-19’s potential impact on the healthcare system and makes no changes to Washington’s Higher Education guidelines. As such, the new plan currently approved does not impact WSU research activities, including Exception Requests. WSU faculty, staff, and students should continue to follow the Office of Research guidance regarding on-campus research under their pertinent “staged return to on-site research, scholarship, and creative activities” plans. PIs and research leaders should continue to follow their approved “staged return to on-site research, scholarship, and creative activities” plans until notified by the Office of Research of any needed changes to these plans resulting from directives or changes to our regional status. Additionally, WSU continues to abide by the guidance.
