The Dalles Mayor Rich Mays says right now the City is in a wait and see mode, waiting for the state to give more details on reopening plans. Mays says the state and Governor Kate Brown have done a good job so far, and he has taken part in a number of conference calls regarding how a reopening could take place, but the biggest uncertainty is when it can happen, and he notes the numbers of COVID-19 cases and the amount of personal protective equipment and tests will dictate that. A complicating factor for the Columbia Gorge area is its proximity to the Portland metropolitan area.
