We want to keep Washingtonians healthy as we begin our recovery from COVID-19. To do that, we need to follow the science.

Yesterday, we launched a dashboard of risk assessment metrics we will use to guide how and when we reopen parts of our economy.

Because Washingtonians have stepped up, we have slowed the spread of COVID-19. We can see it in the data.

Our best weapon against this virus has been to stay home and stay healthy. That is still true today.
We need more testing. Period.

Our recovery strategy relies on the ability to test broadly and quickly. Today, we can't.

I’ve called on the fed. government to step up their production of testing supplies. They have promised more tests are on the way soon. We hope that is true.
Once we can test, we need to quickly:
➡️ isolate anyone who tests positive
➡️ quarantine all those exposed

To do that, we need a trained workforce and facilities to around the state.

We’re moving quickly on both counts.
COVID-19 is a risk to us all. But for those over 65 or with underlying health conditions, it's particularly deadly.

We must be able to protect those most at risk from this virus before we can reopen broadly.
We know this virus can come roaring back. If it does, we need to be ready.

We’re actively monitoring our health care system readiness to respond if we do see an uptick in the future.
The quickest, safest and most responsible path toward recovery is to be guided by science and data.

These dials will be updated weekly so you can see our progress as a state.

Stay home. Stay healthy. #WeGotThisWA
