OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Starting Monday, Washington state counties in the third phase of the reopening plan will have to limit indoor and outdoor social gatherings to no more than 10, down from the current 50.
The new restriction was announced Thursday by Gov. Inslee. Counties in Phase 3 on the Olympic Peninsula are Grays Harbor and Mason.
The restriction on gatherings does not apply to spiritual services, weddings and funerals.
Under the new directive, all live indoor and outdoor entertainment would also be banned.
The announcement comes just days after Inslee announced that a statewide pause for counties looking to advance from their current stage will continue through at least July 28.
