COVID Outbreak At Veterans Home

A COVID-19 outbreak has been identified at the Oregon Veterans’ Home in The Dalles.  The North Central Public Health District said on Friday that nine cases are identified currently, and include staff, residents, and household contacts of staff.  The initial case was confirmed last Sunday and the latest was confirmed Friday.  None were hospitalized as of late Friday.  All staff and residents at the facility have been tested.  The District says the Veterans’ Home responded immediately to notifications of the first case and have taken all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of their residents and staff, including isolation of positive cases.  All residents and staff who tested negative will be re-tested weekly until there are two consecutive weeks of all negative tests.  The Oregon Health Authority’s Urgent Epidemiology Response Team is collaborating with NCPHD to monitor the outbreak.
