Washington state will require people to wear facial coverings in public settings, under a statewide public health order announced by Gov. Jay Inslee in response to ongoing COVID-related health concerns.The order, issued by Secretary of Health John Wiesman, takes effect Friday. The order requires face coverings when people are indoor in a public area, and outdoors in a public area when six feet of physical distancing can¡¯t be maintained.Washington joins several other states that already have statewide mask orders in place, including California, which issued its order last week.A spokesman for Inslee said that violation of the statewide mask order is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and up to a ,000 fine. Violation of the Yakima County proclamation is a gross misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days in jail and up to a ,000 fine. 870

WASHINGTON (KGTV and AP) ¡ª Washington Democrats turned down a deal Monday that would have provided protections for Dreamer immigrants in return for billion in funding for President Trump's border wall.Lawmakers have yet to agree on a .3 trillion catchall spending bill, as well as a major rail project.The bill contains victories for both parties including a Pentagon budget increase requested by Republicans, and the domestic program, infrastructure and opiod crisis funding that Democrats want.Efforts to use the measure as a vehicle to extend protections for young immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, or DACA, program appeared likely to fail, aides said. Trump killed the Obama-era program in September, but a court decision has essentially left it in place, for now. The White House had revived the idea in recent days ¡ª offering on Sunday a 30-month extension of DACA protections in exchange for billion for Trump's border wall ¡ª but Democrats demanded protections for a broader pool of immigrants than had signed up for DACA, a request denied by GOP negotiators.There's also a continuing battle over Trump's long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. While Trump traveled to Otay Mesa last week to inspect prototypes for the wall, what's pending now is .6 billion for earlier designs involving sections in Texas that double as levees and 14 miles (23 kilometers) of replacement fencing in San Diego.It appears Democrats may be willing to accept wall funding, but they are battling hard against Trump's demands for big increases for immigration agents and detention beds they fear would enable wide-scale roundups of immigrants illegally living in the U.S.Aides believe any measure would be unveiled Tuesday for a House vote Thursday. House and Senate action is needed by midnight Friday to prevent another government shutdown. 1897
¡¡¡¡We're about a month into the school year and teachers are struggling to keep children up to speed amid the pandemic.We spoke with a principal at an elementary school in Arizona who says students are about five to six months behind. Some kids who should be reading by now, simply are not.She says when you think about it, most students have not been inside a classroom since March.One challenge for teachers has been teaching at-home students and giving one-on-one attention to those in the classroom. The other challenge has been technology.¡°It¡¯s day to day, whether or not technology works,¡± said principal Sarah Lewis. ¡°And if you think about it, we've been hybrid for about three weeks now, but before that, we were all digital learning. We would have full days where we wouldn't have any technology, so basically we would have to tell the kids, go into Google Classroom and practice your multiplication facts.¡±Lewis says it's tough to hear young kids are learning on their parents¡¯ cell phones, because they don't have a computer.However, she says she's proud of how fast teachers became tech savvy, as well as the level of understanding from most parents and their willingness to be flexible. She's also proud of the kids.¡°Five-year-olds do not understand that you cannot go over to your friend¡¯s desk and ask what they're reading or coloring, but as far as wearing the mask and being OK when we ask them to step away or ask them to, I mean it's incredible that little kids are able to do it,¡± said Lewis.Lewis says she wants people to know just how difficult it is for teachers to balance teaching online students and those in the classroom. She says many are fearful of the pandemic, but realize they have a job to do. 1733
¡¡¡¡WASHINGTON, D.C. ¨C The Better Business Bureau is warning the public about multiple contact tracing scams.The BBB says scammers are taking advantage of people¡¯s fears about contracting the coronavirus as public health officials roll out contact tracing programs.These programs are developed to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by informing people who may have come in contact with someone who has tested positive.According to the BBB, the scam takes two forms ¨C through messages or via phone call.The unsolicited messages can come via texts, emails or social media messengers. They claim that you¡¯ve come in contact with someone with COVID-19, you¡¯re instructed to self-isolate and link is provided to learn more details. Don¡¯t click the link. It may contain malware that downloads to your device.The phone version of the scam involves a robocall claiming to be part of ¡°contact and tracing efforts,¡± according to the BBB. Again, the call informs you that you¡¯ve been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. After electing to speak to a representative, the ¡°contact tracer¡± asks you to verify personal information. While contact tracers do normally reach out by phone, be sure to hang up if the caller doesn¡¯t meet certain guidelines.The BBB says this how to tell a real contact tracer from a scammer:¡¤ Contact tracers will ask you to confirm your identity, but not for financial information. Tracers will ask you to confirm your name, address, and date of birth. In most cases, they will already have this information on file. They will also ask about your current health, medical history, and recent travels. They will not ask for any government ID numbers or bank account details.¡¤ Contact tracers will identify themselves: The call should start with the tracer providing their name and identifying themself as calling from the department of health or another official team.¡¤ Contact tracing is normally done by phone call. Be extra wary of social media messages or texts.¡¤ A real contact tracer will never reveal the identity of the person who tested positive. If they provide a person¡¯s name, you know it¡¯s a scam.¡¤ Think the link may be real? Double check the URL. Scammers often buy official-looking URLs to use in their cons. Be careful that the link is really what it pretends to be. If the message alleges to come from the local government, make sure the URL ends in .gov (for the United States) or .ca (for Canada). When in doubt, perform a separate internet search for the website. 2513
