YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) The state has relaxed some emergency rules so fully vaccinated farmworkers living in temporary housing no longer need to wear masks.
The state Department of Labor & Industries and the state Department of Health issued updated rules on Friday. That was after Washington Farm Labor Association Executive Director Dan Fazio and Washington Farm Bureau Chief Executive John Stuhlmiller last week raised concerns that farmworkers weren’t covered when the state decided fully vaccinated workers didn’t need to wear masks.
They complained the rules, implemented for the COVID-19 pandemic, increased costs while failing to protect workers.
