OLYMPIA The state is dropping plans to require that customers provide their name and contact information when restaurants reopen for dining.
I think where well end up is giving customers an option of leaving a phone number or not, Gov. Jay Inslee said at an afternoon news conference. He said hell have more to say on the subject in the next day or so.
A requirement to keep a log and hold onto the information for a month is among guidelines issued May 11 by the governors office as a requisite for restaurants to restart dining service in the second phase of the states reopening. That opportunity could come as early as June 1, though Inslee said the date is not set in stone.
The purpose is to prevent an outbreak of coronavirus. If a worker or customer tests positive, information in the log can be used to track down those who may have come into contact with the infected person. Inslee has emphasized the information would be kept private and restaurants could not use it for any private or commercial purpose.

(4,619 posts)I know the Trump Humpers are giving you / us all grief, but saving lives is more important than their beer drinking with their loser friends.
Distancing and shutdown is tough, but body bags are tougher.
I appreciate my governor has the courage to do the right thing, and bring down the curve.
Thanks Again Jay.

I will have to be confident that everything possible, is being done, to assure my health before I will eat in a restaurant again.
