Update May 20, 2021:
With local COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates decreasing but still at elevated levels, King County Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin has issued a new Directive strongly urging all residents, fully vaccinated or not, to temporarily continue wearing face masks in public indoor settings.
