HR County Seeing Slight Drop In COVID Cases

Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott says they have seen a slight drop in the number of daily active COVID-19 cases over the last several days.  Elliott told County Commissioners on Monday that they are hoping this is the beginning on a downward trend after dealing with a surge in cases dating back to July.  Elliott said of the current 43 active COVID cases in Hood River County, 21 percent are people under the age of 18.  Elliott added the health department is getting ready for a busy fall as youngsters become eligible for COVID vaccination, flu shots become available, and there is usually a peak of people seeking routine vaccinations at this time of year.
