Remaining Washington COVID-19 Emergency Orders to be Rescinded

Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington announced Thursday that all of the state's remaining emergency proclamations related to COVID-19 will be rescinded effective Oct. 31st.

Only 10 of the total 85 orders enacted in the state since February 29, 2020, are still in effect. All will be rescinded on October 31st, including the controversial proclamation 21-14 on vaccines, which requires state workers, staff at educational facilities, and health care employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Most Washington state agencies will maintain vaccination mandates after the governor’s order is rescinded, and private employers can still choose to require employee vaccination.
