Washington's phased approach
Do you have questions about the path forward? The situation is changing quickly, and a lot of new information has come out in the past few days.
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has answers to some frequently asked questions about the Safe Start Washington plan to reopen the state in four phases while controlling the spread of COVID-19.
DOH also has a comprehensive summary of the plan. Kitsap County, and most of the rest of the state, is in Phase 1. Officials project a minimum of three weeks between each phase.
