Gov. Inslee announces two-week pause on Phase 2 rollbacks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Gov. Jay Inslee announced Tuesday that the state will be enacting a two-week pause on rollbacks for all counties.

This comes in place of what was expected to be an announced rollback for several Washington counties. Now, those plans will be put on hold, with the state set to “evaluate the situation” again after two weeks.

Cowlitz, Pierce, and Whitman counties — which were all moved to Phase 2 in mid-April — will remain in their current phase. Ferry County will also stay in Phase 2, after voluntarily rolling itself back last Friday. All other counties will remain in Phase 3.

“Looking at our rate of vaccination, if people remain committed to this, there’s a reason to believe that sometime this summer we will have a more substantial reopening,” Gov. Inslee said Tuesday. “While we’re pausing today, it doesn’t mean we have a clear path out of these phases either. But we do have a choice in these next couple weeks to get vaccinated and take more control over the course of this pandemic.”
