Why Grant County isn't yet elligible for Phase 2 of reopening
Governor Jay Inslee announced new criteria for a list of 10 larger counties to apply for Phase 2 sooner, but Grant County was not on the list.
With a population just under 100,000, Grant County's goal is to get 10 or less through a 14 day stretch.
Grant County Health District Administrator Theresa Adkinson said the county is currently satisfying the goal, but she added that the dates the state picked in order to gauge this number were April 28 through May 12. On those particular days, the total number of new cases exceeds the required 10, as the county has seen 29 new cases. Adkinson said she isn't sure why the state picked those certain days.
Adkinson added she would like to see more people wearing masks, and said businesses should not open their doors without proper guidance into phase two.
