Masks will continue to be required until further notice in Seattle Public Schools, the district said Monday after Gov. Jay Inslee announced the statewide masking requirement for schools would be lifted on March 12.
Governor Jay Inslee’s COVID-19 state of emergency was issued Feb. 29, 2020, and has allowed him to implement mask mandates and stay-home orders, fire state employees for not getting vaccinated, and implement phased reopening plans.
