“Bremertonians and residents throughout Kitsap County have taken extraordinary steps during this time to limit the spread of COVID-19 and we’ve been able to move to Phase 2 as a result,” said Mayor Wheeler. “As more businesses and activities reopen and some small gatherings resume under this next stage, it’s important to still follow health measures like wearing masks and social distancing to keep cases from escalating. With Phase 2 beginning this Valentine’s Day, I have faith that our community will continue to take exceptional steps to protect friends, neighbors and loved ones.”
