With the recent news that Wasco County will be returning to High Risk on
Friday, April 23, we have been getting many questions about what this
means for the Fitness Center at Water's Edge. At this time, we do
not anticipate any changes in our operating procedures as we have always
remained carefully below maximum capacity throughout the pandemic.
However, the most recent trends in both COVID test positivity rate and
total number of positive cases means that we are trending perilously close
to seeing Wasco County move back to Extreme Risk, which would negatively
impact operations and dramatically lower capacity at the Fitness Center.
We are all in this together, and we'd hate to see things go backwards
now that we are getting used to see all of your smiling faces again. To
help keep things open, please encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to
mask up,
maintain your distance,
wash your hands, and most importantly
get vaccinated so that we can all get out of this together.
