Update 4/4/23:  The Washington State mask mandate has finally ended!  The state ended the mandatory masks in healthcare settings.  We are aware that many regions have committed to continuing masks and we are looking into other methods of ending masks.  For now, we encourage all employees and patients to assert their exemption to face coverings when visiting these facilities.  

Washington State ended its general mask mandate on 3/16/22.  Although the mandate has ended, we are keeping this priceless document posted.  It is implementation guidelines to businesses for implementing the mask mandate.  It gives businesses plenty of room to NOT require 100% masking.  Don’t let this happen again!
