Hood River County Health Director Patricia Elliott said the County has now had 29 positive COVID-19 tests.  That’s up from 16 last Friday, the result of cases associated with three different congregate work facilities.  The County also indicates they have individuals connected to the outbreaks that have test positive and work at other local businesses.  Elliott said Wednesday the rate of positive tests has not gone up, but the amount of testing has.  She noted they have done almost 700 tests in response to the work facility outbreak, and County Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg added they are now testing asymptomatic people.  Contact investigators for Hood River County do say several cases were involved in group activities outside of work like parties where they could have contracted the virus.  County officials emphasize those types of gatherings are discouraged. Wasco County’s tally of positive COVID-19 tests went up by two Wednesday to 28, while Sherman County is at one and Gilliam County remains at zero.  Statewide, Oregon reported 65 new confirmed and presumptive cases to move the full total to 4,399.  There were also two COVID-19 deaths in Wednesday’s report, bringing that number to 159.  In Washington, Klickitat County remains at 29 cases and Skamania County three.
