HR Health Director Says County Wasn’t Far From Pause

Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott says Hood River County wasn’t that far away from being included among those that were put on a two-week pause of gatherings by the state.  Elliott said on Mid-Columbia Today that the number of sporadic COVID-19 cases they had been reporting was concerning, but some of that was related to errors in case reporting.  Those have now been corrected.  Elliott said increases in COVID cases in Hood River County have been consistent with state and national spikes.  She notes testing is up, but so is the positivity rate, which was 6.8 percent last week.
