Washington requires restaurants to keep log of dine-in customers

The state of Washington is requiring restaurants to keep a 30-day log of all on-premise customers, including their emails or phone numbers and the time they arrived, according to a guidance document Governor Jay Inslee’s office unveiled on Monday. These measures are part of Phase 2 of restaurant reopenings in Washington. Collecting such records will facilitate contact tracing and help better determine who may have come into contact with someone diagnosed with the virus.
