TSA announced Thursday it is extending their mask mandate to April 18.
SEATTLE — To mask or not to mask? That is the question Washingtonians will have to answer on their own beginning midnight Saturday as the state indoor mask mandate will be no more.“I’m really excited about it. I think it’s going to be a positive step in the right direction,” said Jackly Barnhoum.“People are done with it. They just want to see each others’ faces, smile, interact with each other socially, so, I think we’re all ready for it,” Bradner said.
“If you’re not wearing a mask the bus driver does notify you to put one on,” said Jody Allen when asked about riding public transit. “I will continue to mask in crowded indoor spaces,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin of Public Health - Seattle & King County.“It remains very reasonable for individuals to make the choice to continue to mask in indoor settings based on their personal risk assessment and preferences,” Duchin said.Many other states had already relaxed their rules.
