Washington State Secretary of Health Mask Order to End on April 3, 2023

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has announced they will be ending the Secretary of Health Mask Order on April 3, 2023. Long-term care facilities must continue to follow the mask order through April 2, 2023. Once the order is no longer in place, facilities must continue to follow DOH infection prevention and control guidance. That guidance is currently under review for possible revisions. RCS will provide additional guidance in coordination with DOH once their review and updated recommendations are complete.
