New COVID-19 Cases Reported In Wasco & Hood River Counties

Both Wasco and Hood River counties have reported a new positive test for COVID-19 counts in the region Wednesday.  That puts Wasco County at 12 positive tests, and Hood River County at five.  According to Hood River County Health Department Director Patricia Elliott, the latest case they received a positive test for is not associated with any other cases, has not been hospitalized, and is self-isolating at home.  She adds this patient is an employee of Rosauers Supermarket in Hood River who was last at work on April 19th.  Hood River County Health Department officials are remaining in close contact with the facility, infected person, and the identified contacts as their investigation continues.  Elliott emphasized a person is no more likely to have contracted the virus while visiting Rosauers than if you have been anywhere else in the community.  Klickitat County remains at 16 positive COVID-19 tests, Skamania County three, and Sherman County one.  The Oregon Health Authority listed 57 new COVID-19 cases in an update of statewide numbers on Wednesday, moving the total to 2,059, 24 percent of which have required hospitalization.  The death count remained at 78.  In Washington, the latest statistics reported late Tuesday showed 12,282 cases of COVID-19 have been detected, with 682 deaths.  Oregon reports it has received 39,126 negative tests, while Washington has had 132,749 negative tests.
