THE
THE ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY. WE'RE LIVE TONIGHT IN EDMONDS AMY MORENO, KING5 KAMIE, THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
WELL, OUR STATE TAKES A BIG
STEP FORWARD TOMORROW IN
LOOSENING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
IN EVERY COUNTY WILL MOVE INTO
PHASE THREE.
SO HOW EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU BUSINESSS
IN RESTAURANTS CAN PUT INDOOR
OCCUPANCY TO 50 PERCENT AND IT
ALSO ALLOWS UP TO FOUR HUNDRED
PEOPLE TO GATHER FOR INDOOR AND
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
SPORTS TEAMS CAN HAVE UP TO
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OCCUPANCY
IN THE STADIUMS THAT COMES JUST
IN TIME FOR THE MARINERS
SEASON.
THE FIRST HOME GAME AT T MOBILE
PARK IS ON APRIL 1ST.
SO AS WE MOVE ON INTO PHASE
THREE PANDEMIC AIR TRAVEL IS
SURGING RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES FOR THE 10TH
STRAIGHT DAY THE TSA SAYS MORE
THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE WERE
SCREENED AT US AIRPORTS.
NOW YESTERDAY THE US SAW MORE
THAN ONE POINT THREE MILLION
PASSENGERS IN AIRPORTS
NATIONWIDE AND A NEW ONE DAY
PANDEMIC RECORD WAS REACHED
FRIDAY WITH ONE POINT FOUR
MILLION PASSENGERS.
SO LET'S TAKE A LIVE LOOK NOW
FROM MIAMI BEACH WHERE IT'S
PRETTY DARK THERE.
SO THE CITY VOTED TODAY TO
EXTEND EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS
AMID OUT OF CONTROL SPRING
BREAK CROWD SO THE CITY STARTED
ENFORCING THAT CURFEW LAST
NIGHT WHEN PEOPLE WERE SEEN
RUNNING FROM POLICE AS THEY
ARRIVED ON SCENE.
HAWAII IS ALSO SEEING A BIG
INFLUX OF SPRING BREAKERS WITH
NEARLY 25000 PEOPLE ARRIVING ON
THE ISLAND ON FRIDAY.
THE MAJORITY ABOUT 16000
VISITORS TO THE UNIVERSITY
OF WASHINGTON IS OFFICIALLY ON

THAT IS ONCE AGAIN HAPPENING AT
A TIME OF STATE AND FEDERAL
CORONVIRUS RESTRICTIONS WHERE
WE'RE ALL BEING ASKED NOT TO

BUILDING HOUSES THIS WEEK SO
NONE OF THAT'S HAPPENING THIS
YEAR.
IN A LETTER SENT IN EARLY MARCH
,EWU DUBBED TELLING STUDENTS
NONESSENTIAL TRAVEL IS STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED.
I THINK I GOT A FEW EMAILS
ABOUT DON'T HOLD ANY BIG
PARTIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
SO WE JUST TRY TO STAY HOME AND
BE SAFE, THAT'S ALL.
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY
FORGOING A TRADITIONAL SPRING
BREAK ALTOGETHER, INSTEAD
SPREADING OUT THE VACATION OVER
THREE LONG WEEKENDS.
LIZ KOON IS A MOM OF TWO
COLLEGE STUDENTS.
KIDS HAVE SAID TO ME IS THAT IT
DOESN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE SPRING
BREAK BECAUSE IT'S JUST MORE
OF THE SAME MORE OF THE SAME
MEANS NO TRAVEL.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT MANY
UNIVERSITIES ARE ASKING
OF THEIR STUDENTS FRIDAY.
WASHINGTON'S GOVERNOR JAY
INSLEE RESCINDING THE EXISTING
STATE TRAVEL ADVISORY PUT IN
PLACE IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR
INSTEAD DEFERRING TO FEDERAL
GUIDELINES.
CDC CALLING ON TRAVELERS TO GET
THE VACCINE IF ELIGIBLE GET
TESTED UP TO THREE DAYS BEFORE
TRAVELING AND MAINTAIN SOCIAL
DISTANCING WHILE ON THE ROAD.
FOR ME IT'S MORE KIND OF LIKE
LAST YEAR BECAUSE ALL OF MY
RESEARCH IS MOSTLY REMOTE SO
I'M DOING MY WORK AT HOME
THROUGH THE INTERNET STUDENTS
PREPARING FOR A SECOND SPRING
BREAK UNDER THE CORONVIRUS
THOUGH HOPEFULLY THE LAST EWU
JOB REMINDING STUDENTS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF FREE TESTING MADE
AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENT BODY.
THEY ALSO IMPLY AT THE END
OF THE PANDEMIC MAY BE INCIENT
THEY SAY THEY'RE PUSHING OR AT
LEAST IT'S THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE
A MOSTLY IN-PERSON MODEL IN
FALL OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE IN
