Businesses and workplaces have an important role to play in helping slow the of COVID-19. Below are resources and current guidance to help keep your workers and customers safe.

Please note that while many industry sectors such as restaurants, bars, gyms, retails stores and other businesses have returned to normal capacity and operations, individual businesses may choose to maintain restrictions as they deem appropriate for the health and safety of their workers and customers.

Reporting COVID-19

Employers should follow Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I) requirements for COVID-19 in the workplace:

  • Organizations and businesses with less than 50 community members or employees no longer need to report COVID-19 cases.
  • Organizations with 50 or more community members or employees should continue to report outbreaks to L&I within 24 hours if they suspect COVID-19 is spreading in their workplace or if there are two or more confirmed or suspected cases among community members or employees in a 14-day period.

Although Washington State’s public health emergency proclamations for COVID-19 ended October 31, 2022, COVID‑19 is still a recognized workplace hazard that employers must address. See L&I Requirements and Guidance for Preventing COVID‑19 and reporting cases.
