Task force aims to help Whatcom businesses provide workplaces safe from coronavirus

The Whatcom County Public Health Advisory Board will create a task force aimed at helping businesses begin operating safely once Gov. Jay Inslee eases the statewide social-distancing limits that have closed many stores and restaurants and idled thousands of workers in the wake of the new coronavirus pandemic.

The task force approved Thursday, April 23, will be composed of community members and representatives of business sectors throughout Whatcom County — from public institutions and manufacturing to retail stores and services such as nail salons and restaurants, board members said.

An application process to join the task force will be established next week, members agreed during Thursday’s online meeting, which was open to the public.

Returning to a sense of normalcy won’t happen quickly, said Dr. Greg Stern, Whatcom County health officer.
