Possible extension of Washington’s coronavirus stay-home order could come later this week; officials discussing reopening by region

Gov. Jay Inslee could announce an extension of his statewide coronavirus stay-at-home order later this week, according to his chief of staff.

The order — which shut thousands of businesses to help slow the outbreak of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus — . But the governor has said parts of it would continue after that date.
