HR County Commission Meets Thursday To Consider Reopening Plan

Hood River County Commissioners have scheduled a special meeting for Thursday to receive a plan for phase one of re-opening from a workgroup that is putting it together.  Commissioners discussed it at a worksession on Monday afternoon.  Commissioner Karen Joplin is a part of the group developing the plan, and she said it appears the County should be able to meet the gating criteria to move forward with phase one, including having a plan for COVID-19 testing in the event of a surge.  The one concern revolves around whether the state will consider Hood River County as part of a region with Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties, or a larger region that could extend all the way to the Idaho border.  Joplin said if the state goes with a separate Mid-Columbia region, then they should meet gating criteria as a group, but that could become more problematic if counties further east are added in.
