Adding Presumptive Cases Increases COVID-19 Numbers

Wasco County is now at 14 reported COVID-19 cases and Hood River County 11.  Numbers are expected to increase as the Oregon Health Authority now includes what are called presumptive cases rather than only positive tests.  The OHA defines as presumptive cases as those without a positive diagnostic test who present COVID-19-like symptoms and had close contact with a confirmed case.  Sherman County remains at one reported COVID-19 case and Gilliam County has none.  In Washington, Klickitat County is at 17 cases and Skamania County three.  Statewide, numbers released Wednesday show Oregon with 70 new confirmed cases reported and seven presumptive cases, moving the total to 2,916, and two deaths were reported to run that number to 115.  Washington is at 15,594 confirmed cases, and 862 deaths.
