Gov. Inslee expands statewide mask mandate to include large outdoor events

A statewide mask mandate will be expanded to include large outdoor events with over 500 attendees starting on Monday, Sept. 13.

The announcement came from Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday, adding to Washington’s existing masking rules which already requiring masking up in all public indoor spaces.

“A mask helps everyone,” Inslee said. “When we wear it, it particularly helps innocent children who cannot protect themselves with a vaccine.”

Both Gov. Inslee and state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah acknowledged that while outdoor settings are generally the safest venues to prevent the spread of COVID-19, “when people are packed tightly together, we’re getting transmission.”
