‘Their Crisis’ Is ‘Our Problem’: Washington Grapples With Idaho Covid Cases

Hospitals in Washington State, already strained, are taking on an influx of Covid patients from Idaho, where the governor has refused to require masks or vaccinations.

Washington State is requiring all teachers and staff to be vaccinated.

The policy is the strictest school vaccine mandate imposed to date by any state, allowing for only a few exceptions. School staff must be inoculated by Oct. 18 or face possible dismissal.
