OLYMPIA, Wash. – All restaurants, bars, entertainment and recreational facilities have been ordered by the state to close across Washington, Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday night.
“Given the explosion of COVID-19 in our state and globally, I will sign a statewide emergency proclamation tomorrow to temporarily shut down restaurants, bars and entertainment and recreational facilities," Inslee said in a press release announcing the new order. “Restaurants will be allowed to provide take-out and delivery services but no in-person dining will be permitted. The ban will not apply to grocery stores and pharmacies. Other retail outlets will have reduced occupancy."
Retail outlets include gas stations, banks, hardware, stores and shopping centers.
The ban will go into effect across the state Monday morning but goes into effect immediately in King County Sunday night.
