Hood River & Wasco COVID Cases Inch Over Century Mark

Wasco County added five confirmed and presumed COVID-19 cases Thursday to move its pandemic total to 102, and Hood River County health officials said they added two more to move up to 101.  North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell said on Mid-Columbia Today that she had expected that to go over the century mark.  McDonell reminds people that while the rising numbers they hear can be concerning, there are steps they can take to reduce risk for themselves and their family.  Those steps include wearing a face covering in public settings, especially indoors, practicing physical distancing, and washing your hands frequently.  Mid-Columbia Medical Center’s Stephanie Bowen told the Wasco County Commission on Wednesday they currently have two COVID-19 patients hospitalized, but bed capacity is not an issue.
