A task force will meet as early as next week to begin working through how and when to reopen businesses that have been closed since last month in efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Whatcom County Health Department said in a briefing on Monday, April 20.

Erika Lautenbach, director of the Whatcom County Health Department, said public health officials want to provide support and assistance to businesses so they can reopen safely and feel confident that they can keep their employees and their customers safe.
