The Northern Wasco County Aquatic Center reopened Friday. Pool operator Northern Wasco County Parks & Recreation District closed the pool on Tuesday after two aquatic staff members had reported feeling ill with Covid-like symptoms. District Executive Director Scott Baker announced that pool staff had tested negative for COVID-19, so the decision was made to reopen. He noted the pool facility has been thoroughly sanitized during the closure, adding they clean after every 90 minute open swim session. He says they use sprayers with a bleach solution that are used on chairs and high touch points, and the pool slide is wiped down with sanitizer after each use. Those with questions or concerns can call the District office at 541-296-9533, or go to nwprd.org.
