One month ago, WA faced an unmitigated public health and economic disaster. Washingtonians have answered the call to slow the spread.

Though we have a long way to go, we can now plan how to recover from this crisis. Here's the outline of WA's Recovery Plan. 1/8
We are encouraged by projections, but we aren’t ready to ease restrictions yet.

When we are, it will be slow. It will be the turn of a dial, not the flip of a switch.

We will not be able to lift all restrictions on May 4. 2/8
Our recovery will be guided by three principles.

1⃣ Protect the health of Washingtonians first
2⃣ Get people back to work - safely
3⃣ Support our community through the recovery
Our recovery will be guided by science, not politics. And protecting the health of Washingtonians comes first.

To ease restrictions, we need to ensure we can slow the spread and keep people healthy. 3/8
Before we adjust measures, we need to be able to:
➡️ Test widely
➡️ Isolate quickly
➡️ Identify contacts
➡️ Quarantine contacts

States across the U.S. remain wildly behind on testing capacity. 4/8
Coronavirus will remain a threat to Washingtonians until we have a vaccine.

Workplaces will continue to look and operate differently until one is available. We will provide guidelines for businesses so they can begin to reopen safely. 5/8
We must support our families, our workers and our communities during this recovery.

That means state and community leaders coming together to build an informed consensus on a safe and equitable recovery. 6/8
I am appointing three leadership groups to advise our office on:
➡️ Public health/health care systems
➡️ Safe work and economic recovery
➡️ Social supports for the most vulnerable and those affected by COVID-19 7/8
We continue to set the national standard in our coronavirus response.

Though it comes with tremendous suffering, Washingtonians are doing truly amazing things on the path to recovery.

Stay Home. Stay Healthy. And we’ll talk again soon. #WeGotThisWA 8/8
