The Mid-Columbia again saw an increase in numbers of positive COVID-19 cases Tuesday. The update released Tuesday afternoon by the Oregon Health Authority added two more to Wasco County’s numbers to run the count there to 26 since statistics began to be compiled, while Hood River County was up by four to 22. Many of those in the counts have recovered. However, Hood River County Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg said in a Facebook post Tuesday night the County’s number of confirmed or presumptive COVID-19 cases is actually around 30 with three outbreaks in congregate settings or workplaces, but adding they can’t be sure if the clusters were transmitted through workplaces or by group leisure activities in the past two weeks. Van Tilburg said it’s difficult to give an exact number because multiple counties of residence are involved. He also did not identify two of the congregate outbreaks outside of the one reported last week at Duckwall Fruit, however the coffee shop Dutch Bros. did release a statement on its website that one of its Hood River employees had tested positive on May 28, and that location is undergoing a deep cleaning before reopening. Klickitat County is at 29 cases, with the addition of three Bingen residents that County Emergency Management Director Jeff King said were connected to the Duckwall outbreak either by working there or as a family member. King said they do not foresee a cluster or community spread in Bingen. The OHA reported 33 new and confirmed cases Tuesday in the state, including three deaths. Oregon has now had 4,335 COVID-19 cases, with 157 deaths.
