COVID-19 brought unprecedented challenges to our state. So far, Washingtonians have stepped up.

There are more challenges ahead. But tomorrow, we enter Phase 1 of Safe Start, our phased approach to re-opening Washington’s economy: bit.ly/SafeStartWA

#WeGotThisWA 1/4
Our "Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order is extended to the end of May. However, our Safe Start plan will allow us to lift parts of the order as it is responsible to do so.

Also, counties with:
✅ <75k people
✅ no cases for 3 weeks
can apply to move through phases more quickly. 2/4
We will not move to a new phase until it is responsible to do so.

Our risk-assessment dashboard will help us make data-driven decisions that protect Washingtonians: bit.ly/COVIDDials 3/4
Thank you for staying home. Please stay healthy.

Let's beat this virus the first time.

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.

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

I hear every day from people who want to go back to work, open their businesses and spend time with their friends and family. Most of them are doing what must be done first to accomplish that: They’re staying home.
These are difficult and frustrating times. I understand the urgency of this crisis. However, this is not the time to halt the progress we have made. I encourage everyone in our state to stay home, stay healthy and, if you need to go out, practice adequate physical distancing.
Comments in the news today by some Republican legislators calling for 'open rebellion,' claiming a 'deep state' plot & other radical statements are irresponsible & could needlessly lead to more people getting sick. I hope legislative leaders will speak out against such rhetoric.
