May 23—It's been one of the most difficult periods in U.S. history for the small business. But after months of starts and stops tied to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Jay Inslee announced earlier this month that, barring any major uptick in COVID-19 cases, the Washington economy will fully reopen on June 30.
Inslee also announced guidance for employers and employees in a proclamation on Friday, saying his proclamation "further permits employers to continue to require that employees wear a face covering, regardless of vaccination status."
