OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee warned Friday that while he has not yet enacted more stringent social distancing requirements to fight the spread of coronavirus like those imposed by California, New York and other states,  if people continue to ignore current requirements he “will go farther to protect 7 million Washingtonians.” The state has already closed schools through the late April, banned events and ordered bars to close and restaurants to serve only take out or drivethru options.
