Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday extended orders requiring all non-essential businesses to close and about 7 million state residents to stay home to help slow the spread of the CCP virus (COVID-19).
Inslee extended his initial orders, issued on March 23, to May 4, saying social distancing measures must remain in place an additional month to minimize the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the coronavirus. The measures were originally set to expire next week.
