Here's what you need to know about King County's COVID vaccine or test requirement starting Oct. 25
Starting Oct. 25, patrons entering most indoor businesses in King County will be required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit a negative COVID test.
King County health officials and elected leaders announced the order last month, saying it was a logical next step in combating the spread of the coronavirus — especially the highly contagious delta variant, which over the past few months has helped make the COVID-19 pandemic the deadliest in U.S. history.
“Though this may seem like a hassle, this extra step is crucial in the fight to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and its variants,” the Washington State Department of Health said in its proof of vaccination guidance. “And it can help you get back to doing the things you love, safely.”
The order is not permanent. King County officials said they expect to reassess the need for the order at least six months after it goes into effect, which would be April 25, 2022, if the order goes into effect on Oct. 25 as expected.
