HR County At 14 Active COVID-19 Cases

In three days since Oregon Governor Kate Brown removed Hood River County from the state’s COVID-19 watch list, the County has seen 11 positive cases.  County Health Department Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says there are currently 14 active COVID cases in the County.  He did say the County has had no fatalities and no current hospitalizations, which is reassuring and shows residents are trying prevent spread of the disease.  Van Tilburg points out the primary source of spread remains informal social gatherings, and the leading group of positive tests for COVID-19 in Oregon are those in their twenties, followed by people in their thirties and forties.  He adds the social gathering issue is particularly concerning with the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend.
