Klickitat County’s application to move into Phase 2 of the state of Washington’s reopening guidelines has been approved.  The County learned of the state’s approval Monday.  County officials say any business wanting to open that was required to wait until phase 2 can now reopen following the Safe Start Guidelines.  Each sector has a detailed document with specific industry guidelines.  Information on those guidelines is available through the County’s website.  If circumstances change within the County, such as a significant community transmission, no or minimal access to COVID-19 testing, inadequate surge capacity in the hospital, inadequate personal protective equipment supplies, inadequate case and contact investigations, inadequate isolation or quarantine facilities, or other conditions warranting significant concern, the state could revoke the variance.  Klickitat County also announced its offices and facilities will remain closed until the County can move into Phase 3.
