North Central Public Health District Health Officer Mimi McDonell told Wasco County Commissioners about the updated guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority about COVID-19 contact tracing.  McDonell says the new guidelines define close contact as being within six feet of an infected person for a minimum of fifteen minutes.  She says if a close contact is symptomatic they will recommend testing and isolation, and if they are asymptomatic to go into quarantine for 14 days.  McDonell acknowledged the burden that places on people, but said doing that means others who are healthy and have not been exposed can get out more.  McDonell told commissioners the District feels confident it has the resources to do the testing.  District Director Teri Thalofer told the Commission the hope is to have a draft reopening plan for Wasco County for the panel to review by the end of the week.
