Governor Jay Inslee and other state and local Washington officials announced new measures this morning in an effort to slow the spread and transmission of COVID-19. The central measures involve limiting public gatherings and events over 250 attendees for the rest of the month of March, with a “very, very likely” chance of being extended. Inslee emphasized that this is not the flu and is potentially at least 10 times more deadly than the seasonal flu, and noted that the spread and rate indicates that this will be a severe and ongoing problem in Seattle and the State of Washington.
