Inslee expands coronavirus school closure to all Washington K-12 schools

Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that he is mandating the closure of all Washington schools from March 17, through at least April 24.

He added that he was going to “restrict activities” at colleges, saying there would be no in-person courses through that date. Labs and clinics, he said, can continue if social distancing is imposed.

In the same announcement, he made his existing efforts to slow the virus down even more drastic, expanding his restriction on meetings of over 250 to the entire state.
