Inslee updates guidance for religious and faith based organizations

Gov. Jay Inslee today announced updated guidance for religious and faith based organizations as part of Washington's Safe Start phased reopening plan. 

The religious and faith-based guidance is updated to:

• Clarify that physical distancing between non-household members must be 6 feet in all directions; and
• Permit brief physical contact among up to five individuals, excluding religious leaders, if the brief contact is a critical component to the organization’s religious service, so long as masks are worn and hands are sanitized immediately before and after the contact.
