Efforts continue by local governments and health authorities to message to people of all ages to wear face coverings in public and to practice social distancing in an effort to stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading.  Wasco County Commissioner Kathy Schwartz, who is a former director of the Wasco County Health Department, said they’ve done quite a bit in that area, but it’s not easy to combat mixed messaging at times from government and misinformation on social media.  Schwartz noted the Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties’ Unified Command has started an initiative on Instagram to reach a younger population.
