Operative words
Proclamation 20-25, et seq., Healthy Washington - Roadmap To Recovery, renamed Washington Ready pursuant to this order, found here, remains in full force and effect, and all of the prohibitions described therein are extended except as they are specifically altered or amended by this Proclamation.... I hereby order that movement, occupancy, and face-covering restrictions are modified as set forth in this Proclamation 20-25.14, Washington Ready. If statewide COVID-19 infections or related deaths begin to rise again and reach a statewide hospital Intensive Care Unit capacity of 90% or greater, restrictions may again be reinstated... Employers:... a. Must obtain proof of vaccination or a hard copy or electronically signed document attesting to the employee's fully vaccinated status from every employee before the employee is permitted to work at an indoor worksite without wearing a face covering... Additional local restrictions may apply: Nothing in this proclamation or in the Secretary of Health's face covering order prevents any other individual or entity from imposing face covering or other restrictions or requirements in businesses or other locations within the scope of their legal authority.
