With 29 active COVID-19 cases at this time in Hood River County, County Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says that is more than the County had during stay at home orders early on in the pandemic. In a video posted on the Hood River County Health Department Facebook page, he says wearing face coverings is more important than ever. He also emphasized close contact with other people is how the virus spread, adding they don’t have a good handle on exact behaviors that are causing transmission except person-to-person.
