Wasco County is now at a total of 137 positive or presumed COVID-19 cases during the pandemic. That’s according to numbers released by the North Central Public Health District on Wednesday afternoon, up six from the day before. The Oregon Health Authority moved Hood River County up by four cases to 139, while Sherman County remains at eight total cases. North Central Public Health District Health Officer Mimi McDonell told the Wasco Commission that Wasco County’s epidemiological curve has slowed a bit. She also said getting test results back remains a major problem, as it in other parts of the country, adding when it takes 10 days to get a result it can defeat the purpose of the test. In Washington, Skamania County Tuesday added three cases to move its total to 43, and reported a death from COVID-19 for the first time. Klickitat County is at 90 with one addition reported on Tuesday.
