We have essentially what is a new virus at our throats, a new virus that is twice as transmittable and is causing an explosion of this dread disease in the state of Washington. We’re in the middle of an explosive threat to our freedoms because of this disease. So we will be requiring our state workers and our contractors who come onto our sites, and workers in private health care and long-term care settings to be vaccinated as a condition of further employment. Individuals covered by this order I will issue today will have until Oct. 18 to become fully vaccinated against the Covid disease.
