CHELAN - Yesterday (July 2) Governor Inslee issued and order directing businesses to require and enforce the use of face coverings by all customers or visitors. The order is effective July 7 - guidance for businesses is being developed.
The Governor also ordered that Counties will not be able to move out of their current phase for at least another two weeks.
Are there exemptions or times I don’t have to wear a face covering?
There are some exemptions to the DOH order, including people with certain disabilities or health conditions, people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and children under the age of two. Officials encourage use of a face covering by children ages 3-5 if possible. Children five and older must wear a face covering.
You do not need to wear a cloth face covering in your home when you are only with people in your household, or when you are alone in your car. You do not need to wear one when seated at a restaurant eating, or when you are outdoors and people socially distant.
Resources and graphics for mask wearing.
Free face masks available to visitors, locals and businesses.
The Lake Chelan Chamber has free masks for the public. They can be picked up at the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Thank you to everyone that is sacrificing so much to help our community stay healthy and keep our businesses open.
