Washington state’s Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah indicated Wednesday that the state will leave the door open for counties to enact their own mask rules.
According to Dr. Shah, the state recently updated its own mask mandate to align with CDC guidance, allowing for fully vaccinated people to not wear masks “in most situations.” Despite that, he also said that “counties and businesses can make their own rules about masking, so it will be different depending on where you are.”
