Pressure grows for Inslee to roll back mask mandate

With California and Oregon rolling back indoor mask mandates, pressure is growing on Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to do the same.

Washington’s current mask rule began last August in the Delta surge.

Now, with Omicron declining, Oregon plans to end its indoor mask mandate by March 31, and California will allow vaccinated people to go maskless inside starting Feb. 15.

Inslee’s office said he was not available for an interview Tuesday, but wrote, “We are continuing to track cases, hospitalizations and deaths. We are optimistic that these numbers will continue to decline in a way that will let us revisit the mask requirements in the near future.”

Right, the number of new cases per day is still nearly double the highest rate pre-omicron wave. Salviati Feb 2022 #2

We're definitely heading in the right direction, but now's not the time to drop the ball.
