Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam Counties Get Phase 1 Approval From Governor

Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties have been approved by Oregon Governor Kate Brown to enter Phase 1 of reopening starting Friday.  Wasco County Commissioner Scott Hege posted the letter he received from the Governor on his Facebook page early this morning, and the reopening for the other two North Central Public Health District counties was confirmed on the three counties’ Unified Command Facebook page.  There has been no word on Hood River County’s Phase 1 application, with the Governor holding a press conference this morning.  In Brown’s letter to Hege, she says reopening does not come without risks, and the contact tracing, testing, and personal protective equipment requirements that were part of the conditions for opening are essential to mitigate a transmission increase of COVID-19.
