North Central Public Health Director Teri Thalhofer told Wasco County Commissioners on Wednesday that finding hotel space for those who test positive for COVID-19 and need a place for isolation and quarantine is a problem.  Thalhofer said at the time Wasco County did its application for Phase 1 reopening they thought they had agreements in place with area hotels, but when the County tried to use them they have faced opposition.  Thalhofer said she is working with The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lisa Farquharson to discuss the issue with hotels, and County Counsel Kristen Campbell has written a letter of explanation to lodgers.  Thalhofer noted a brief from the Oregon Bureau and Labor of Industries says it is discrimination to not allow people with COVID-19 or exposure to the virus to use a hotel room.  She said without a resolution to the quarantine space issue, it is doubtful Wasco County can move into Phase 2, and County Commission Chair Scott Hege added they need options to give people a place to stay.
