In Washington specifically, Gov. Jay Inslee (D) ordered a closure Monday of all restaurants, bars, and entertainment and recreational facilities in an effort to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

“These are very difficult decisions,” he said, “but hours count here and very strong measures are necessary to slow the spread of the virus. I know there will be significant economic impacts to all our communities and we are looking at steps to help address those challenges.”
