KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo discuss what restaurants will look like when they reopen for dine-in service. A new study indicates that morale is low.

Governor Inslee backed away from an earlier requirement that diners must provide contact information. Now, you won’t have to hand over your phone number and email to Washington state public health unless you want to.

Today is the first day that masks are strongly suggested (but, also not required) in public spaces – both indoors and outdoors.

And a vaccine trial in Massachusetts shows promising early results. If everything goes well in the next two trial phases, it could hit the market by the end of the year.
