Hana Morris, left, and Forrest Golic wear masks as they walk hand in hand Monday, June 22, 2020, in Yakima, Wash. Washington state will require people to wear facial coverings in most indoor and outdoor public settings, under a statewide public health order announced Tuesday by Gov. Jay Inslee in response to ongoing COVID-related health concerns. Yakima County, which has been among the hardest hit by the outbreak, has even more stringent requirements under a separate proclamation issued by Inslee that also takes effect Friday.
