What it required
The page the proclamations incorporate by reference ('All mandatory guidelines for businesses and activities... may be found at... COVID-19 Reopening Guidance for Businesses and Workers'; Exs. WA-040, WA-072): the index of the industry-specific requirements documents whose observance was a condition of operating in each phase.
