Wasco COVID Cases Continue

North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell says for the past two weeks Wasco County has seen reported COVID-19 cases go down somewhat, but there were still almost 100 in the last week.  McDonell told Wasco County Commissioners on Wednesday the Delta variant continues to be transmitted in the County.  She added while hospitalizations in Oregon are down, in Hood River and Wasco counties hospitals remain very busy.  McDonell said on Tuesday there were no Intensive Care Unit beds available in the area.  McDonell added Oregon Health Science University modeling shows a downward trend in COVID-19 cases in the state, but that’s dependent on more people getting vaccinated and continued use of good practices like mask wearing and social distancing.
