Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery Plan, which create a new two-phase, regional framework of business reopening and social distancing rules to handle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The new Proclamation became effective January 11, 2021, and does not expire until the end of the COVID-19 State of Emergency.
This new framework replaces Washington’s previous Safe Start Plan, which used a four-phase, county-by-county approach.
The Healthy Washington Plan divides the state into eight regions. Each region begins in Phase 1 until metrics based upon community disease levels and health system capacity justify a move to Phase 2. If a region moves to Phase 2 and regresses, it can be moved back to Phase 1. There is also a chance that new phases could be added.
