SEATTLE, Wash. – With Memorial Day and summer time activities right around the corner, Washington health experts said we’re at a pivotal moment in the fight against COVID-19.
“Treat Memorial Day this year, a lot like we did last year except for those folks who know they’re all vaccinated,” Dr. John Lynch with UW Medicine said.
During a statewide briefing with the Washington Hospitals Association on Monday, experts urged people to still practice COVID-19 caution even if they’re fully vaccinated.
“We’re in this sort of tricky transition where as activities open up, where masks get removed, you’re gonna be around lots of non immune people, lots of non immune people, because we’ve been so successful leads to a bit of a risky transition,” Dr. Lynch added.
