Wasco County’s COVID-19 cases are decreasing with the rest of the state, according a North Central Public Health District report given to Wasco County Commissioners on Wednesday. Health District Board member Kathy Schwartz, who is also Wasco County Commission Chair, gave the report that also showed an improving picture for hospital space in the region and a decrease in COVID-19 test volumes. But Schwartz did say health officials are asking for continued mask use right now, with hospitals still under stress from large patient numbers. A Federal Emergency Management Agency COVID-19 vaccine clinic will be set up at the old Griffith Motors building on East 3rd in The Dalles beginning this Monday, and it will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day through February 28.
