Pierce County executive: 'Unrealistic' benchmarks will delay Phase 2 approval

Don’t expect barbershops and nail salons to open in Pierce County June 1.

Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier said unless Gov. Jay Inslee makes changes to his COVID-19 benchmarks, it could be weeks before Pierce County is allowed to proceed to Phase 2 in the governor's reopening plan.

“The metrics that the Governor has laid out I believe are unrealistic when you consider some of the long-term care facility challenges,” said Dammeier.

Dammeier said despite a drop in cases, Pierce County still has twice as many new cases as the benchmarks allow to move into Phase 2.

”That’s going to be really difficult for the people of Pierce County to meet that anytime soon, certainly by June 1,” Dammeier said.
