Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott says she is asking the Oregon Health Authority to expand the number of symptoms that would allow them to call a contact a presumptive COVID-19 case. Elliott says it would make easier to link COVID-19 cases together, noting they see cases with a link through common contact, but that person does not meet the criteria for presumptive case, so they cannot be linked together. Elliott said she is still awaiting an answer from the state. Hood River County currently has 13 active COVID-19 cases, but they also doing contact checking for 30 to 40 others.
