2.    Meet the criteria priority populations outlined in Grays Harbor County Health Order 2020-04.

The Health Order’s priority populations include people who are considered essential workers under Governor Jay Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order and their household members. A complete list of essential workers is available at https://coronavirus.wa.gov/whats-open-and-closed/essential-business.
