Inslee announces phases for lifting virus restrictions

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday he is extending the state’s coronavirus stay-at-home order through at least May 31 and that he will ease the restrictions in four stages, starting with allowing retail curbside pickup, automobile sales and car washes by mid-May.

“We have not won this fight against this virus," Inslee said.

There will be a minimum of three weeks between each phase, though he said some counties with lower numbers of cases and deaths may be able to open parts of their economy sooner if approved by the Department of Health.

The Democrat said the first phase would also allow drive-in spiritual services with one household per vehicle.
