Did Washington reopen too soon? Numerous counties at risk of moving back to Phase 2 in April
When Gov. Jay Inslee first announced all counties in Washington would be moving to Phase 3, he commended people across the state for doing their part to stop the spread.
The move to allow counties to reopen most indoor places at 50%, Inslee said at the time, was “one more step in beating the virus and reopening our economy.”
But now, about three weeks later, the state is seeing a concerning rise in cases and hospitalizations and an increase in more infectious variants. Vaccinations — though helping, especially among older adults — have not been able to speed up fast enough to control the rapid spread.
More than a dozen counties in Washington are now at risk of having to move back a phase in the state’s reopening.
