Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, ordered broad new restrictions and shutdowns for theaters, gyms, restaurants, and all indoor gatherings in Washington state starting 11:59 p.m. on Monday night in an attempt to slow the CCP virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease.
“Today, Sunday, November 15, 2020, is the most dangerous public health day in the last 100 years of our state’s history,” Inslee said. “A pandemic is raging in our state. Left unchecked, it will assuredly result in grossly overburdened hospitals and morgues; and keep people from obtaining routine but necessary medical treatment for non-COVID conditions.”
