Inslee extends virus restrictions until Jan. 11
December 30, 2020 GMT
Inslee said the restrictions are now due to expire Jan. 11.
“This choice is not easy,” Inslee, a Democrat, said via Twitter. “Next week I’ll be announcing more details about our new plan to safely reopen.”
In mid-November Inslee, in response to rising case numbers, announced a host of businesses must close their indoor services, including fitness facilities and gyms, bowling centers, movie theaters, museums, zoos and aquariums. Retail stores including grocery stores were told to limit their indoor capacity to 25%.
Also, indoor social gatherings with people from more than one household are prohibited unless attendees have either quarantined for 14 days before the gathering or tested negative for COVID-19 and quarantined for seven days. There’s no enforcement mechanism for indoor get-togethers.
LOS ANGELES Dawn Wells, who played the wholesome Mary Ann on the 1960s sitcom “Gilligan’s Island,” has died.
Her publicist says Wells died Wednesday morning in Los Angeles of causes related to COVID-19 at age 82.
Besides TV, film and stage acting credits, her other real-life roles included teacher and motivational speaker.
Born in Reno, Nevada, Wells represented her state in the 1959 Miss America pageant and quickly pivoted to an acting career. Her early TV roles came on shows including “77 Sunset Strip,” “Maverick” and “Bonanza.”
Then came “Gilligan’s Island,” a goofy, good-natured show that became an unlikely but indelible part of popular culture.
