DAYTON-Columbia County Public Health (CCPH) still reports only one recovered case in the community, however the number of cases rise in surrounding counties. CCPH administrator Martha Lanman, is asking that as the weather warms, people should be maintaining the social distancing guidelines issued for the Stay Home, Stay Healthy by Governor Inslee.

Though going outside is allowed and encouraged, it is only advisable to do so with members of your household. If you encounter others while outside, maintain a distance of at least six feet. The parks are closed for use. Certain activities remain closed like fishing, hunting and visiting state parks, including camping.

Lanman also advised that if you have to drive to an activity or outing, it should be considered as too far for abiding by the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order.
