One of the longest, hardest stretches of strict social isolation in Oregon history may end May 15 for some parts of the state.

Friday is when counties that qualify will begin phase one of reopening with the coronavirus still active in the state. Each county will enter the phase with guarded optimism, stressing the need for social distancing.

Eastern Oregon's Baker County, with a population of 16,000, hopes to be one of the first counties to open up again after shutting down to curb the spread of COVID-19.

"It's extremely exciting. As I drove down through main street Baker City this morning I was thinking, 'What a relief it will be to at least transition into phase one,'" said Mark Bennett, a county commissioner who is also in charge of the county's coronavirus response.
