Biden to end national COVID emergencies on May 11
President Biden told congress he will end the two national COVID-19 emergencies later this year.
OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing "very mild symptoms including a mild cough."
Gov. Inslee's office issued a news release with the information Wednesday morning.
The governor and his doctor will decide if he should take Paxlovid antiviral treatments.
"Once again I am very appreciative to be vaccinated and boosted," Inslee said. "This is a scientific gift that has given us the capacity to prevent hospitalizations or worse. I encourage folks who haven’t received their booster to talk with their doctor and avail themselves of this protective, life-saving measure."
