Washinton state lays out the next potential steps ” as its public-health officials are “at the ready” to order involuntary isolation and quarantines and are considering cancellation of major public events.

Patty Hayes, director of Public Health — Seattle & King County, outlined potential next steps in the area’s effort to slow the spread of the virus at a Seattle City Council meeting and said officials are talking about what to do.

Hayes shared a Washington State Department of Health chart that listed five levels of actions that officials could take. Gov. Jay Inslee hinted at the ongoing discussions Sunday on the CBS show “Face the Nation,” saying the state’s response could involve “reducing the number of social activities that are going on.”

Although King County’s first confirmed COVID-19 case was announced less than two weeks ago, the area’s response already has ratcheted through Level 1 and Level 2.  — Seatlle Times

Nobody knows the exact path of the current crisis or how and when it ends but it will end.  This too shall pass.
