Wasco County Hopeful To Change Risk Category

North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell told the Wasco County Commission that COVID-19 case counts continue to go down.  They’ve dropped steadily since early January, and for the two-week period that ended last Saturday there had been 53 newly reported COVID cases in the County with a test positivity rate down to 2.2%.  The next time the state will revise County risk levels is next week, and McDonell is hopeful Wasco County can leave the extreme risk category.  If that occurred, among other things indoor dining could take place in restaurants at 25 percent of capacity or 50 people, whichever is smaller, gyms and studios could operate under similar limitations, and inside visitation would be allowed at long-term care facilities.
