We've heard a lot about the changes Washington residents are having to make to combat the spread of the coronavirus in our state. Schools are closed for six weeks, large gatherings are prohibited, and Gov. Jay Inslee is banning in-person dining at bars and restaurants until the end of the month. Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins talked about all of it with Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick on March 17, 2020.
UPDATE, March 17, 2:15 p.m.: KNKX Public Radio is working to keep you updated on the latest developments of the outbreak of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
