With temperatures rising across Western Washington this weekend, Governor Jay Inslee warned Friday that the transmission rate of the novel coronavirus could rise too.
With this weekend set to be the warmest of the year, paired with Mother’s Day Sunday, Inslee acknowledged that people will be getting out.
To those who plan on being outdoors, he once again urged that social distancing be practiced.
“With COVID-19 lurking, we do have to hope people will both enjoy an amazing weekend and do it in a way that keeps themselves and their loved ones safe,” Inslee said.
“The number of people who will be infected and the number of people who will lose their lives is going to rise again in the state of Washington,” said Inslee should that rate continue to grow.
