Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced Monday that Whitman, Cowlitz, and Pierce counties have failed to meet the state’s re-opening metrics and will face more restrictions.
Those counties will go from Phase 3 of the governor’s re-opening plan to Phase 2, which means businesses must operate at reduced capacity and both indoor, and outdoor gatherings must be smaller.
Whitman County had 441 cases per 100,000 people as of Monday afternoon, and had 99 people hospitalized with COVID-19 over the course of the pandemic. Over the past couple of weeks the county health district warned residents, especially students that more restrictions could be coming as their cases and hospitalization escalated. Over the last month Washington State University, which is located in Pullman, warned students that violating health guidelines could lead to conduct violations.
