Impact of Coronavirus and Other Contagions at OAH
The state and federal public health emergency proclamations for COVID-19 ended. However, COVID-19 and other coronaviruses, noroviruses and other contagions remain workplace safety hazards. In order to protect public health and OAH staff, we expect that:
- If you are sick or in a known contagious period, you will not come to an OAH facility or an in-person hearing.
- If you cannot safety come in person, you will contact the Customer Service Center to make alternative arrangements. Call (360) 407-2700 or toll free (800) 583-8271.
Masks are available at our reception counter at your request.
