Three Washington Counties Move Backwards In COVID-19 Reopening | News Radio 1190 KEX

Apr 13, 2021
Washington Governor Jay Inslee today announced the rollback of three counties not meeting the Phase 3 Healthy Washington metrics for reopening activities.
The three counties returning to Phase 2 are:
• Cowlitz County
• Whitman County
“These metric trends are driven by the virus and we must continue to do everything we can to sharpen our focus and keep COVID-19 activity down. We are so close to the end of the tunnel here — we have made tremendous progress and we must keep our focus,” Inslee said. “It’s like a football game; we have done 95 yards on a 99 yard-drive. We can’t let up now. These are not punitive actions; they are to save lives and protect public health.”

Oregon Humane Society (OHS) has announced a groundbreaking to improve the lives of vulnerable animals and further support under-resourced pet owners in Oregon.
