Operative words
The Port of Seattle temporarily suspended current construction projects from April 9 to 13 to complete reviews and updates of contractors' jobsite safety plans, an action necessary to protect workers and slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.... The 2020 cruise season is indefinitely suspended until the resolution of the public health emergency.... The decision to delay the launch of the 2020 cruise season came after reviewing multiple options with our cruise operators, the United States Coast Guard, public health authorities, and local leaders.... Only 'essential' workers are permitted onsite, which are employees performing work to maintain our core functions.... Governor Inslee's 'Stay Home, Stay Healthy' order is in effect.
Enforcement
