The Yakima Health District has initiated an on-site COVID-19 technical assistance team to provide critical support to local businesses navigating health regulations. In partnership with the Yakima County Development Association, the Grower’s League, and the Washington Tree Fruit Association, this team is poised to deliver tailored assistance aimed at enhancing workplace safety. The initiative responds to the urgent need for businesses to comply with state-mandated COVID-19 safety measures, which have become increasingly important in light of the pandemic's impact on local economies. By engaging with businesses directly, the Yakima Health District aims to ensure that safety protocols are effectively implemented. This effort is part of a broader strategy to safeguard public health while allowing economic activities to resume responsibly.

The collaborative nature of this program highlights the commitment of local organizations to support one another during these challenging times. As businesses prepare for reopening, this assistance will be invaluable in helping them adapt to new health guidelines. Overall, this initiative reflects the community's resilience and proactive approach to overcoming the challenges posed by COVID-19.
