Sno Co exec Somers: There are no current plans to move back to Phase 1
EVERETT — Executive Dave Somers has no current plans to move Snohomish County back to Phase 1 of the governor’s “Safe Start” plan, he said in a statement Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Somers told reporters that reverting to Phase 1 “is clearly one of the options that could be in front of us” as the county deals with a rise in virus infections.
He sought to clarify that the next day. “The only reason I would even consider it at some point in the future would be if we saw a significant, sustained outbreak that threatened to overwhelm our health care system or a significant, sustained spike in deaths,” Somers’ Wednesday statement said.
Snohomish County has been in Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee’s four-step reopening process since June 5.
