Health officials 'have not had discussions' about rolling whole state back to Phase 2 April 29, 2021 at 5:17 am Health officials are scheduled to announce which Washington counties will be moving back to Phase 2 of reopening by next Tuesday, May 4. But with case rates and hospitalizations continuing to rise in several regions, have leaders considered a statewide rollback? According to Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah, that’s not currently on the table. “We have not had discussions in terms of moving the entire state back,” he said during a Wednesday briefing. “It’s really looking at this from a county to county perspective — there’s a significant variation across the counties. The concern is that we are seeing increasing transmission in communities across Washington, but not everywhere.”
