Inslee announcement on Safe Start recovery plan

Gov. Jay Inslee announced on Friday that Washington counties are not automatically moving to Phase 2 of the state’s Safe Start recovery plan on June 1. Kitsap was granted a variance to move to Phase 2 last week, but counties with higher infection rates will remain in Phase 1, even as the governor's Stay Home, Stay Safe order expires at midnight Sunday. 

Phase 2 counties must remain in Phase 2 for at least three weeks before becoming eligible for Phase 3. 

Coping with quarantine

As we gradually increase the amount of time spent in public life, some us may get exposed to COVID-19. If someone you know tests positive for COVID-19 and you have had close contact with that person, the health department will ask you to stay in your home for 14 days. If quarantining in your home is not possible for you, then they will help you find a safe place to stay.

Here are some things to remember about quarantine from the Washington State Department of Health.
