Klickitat County Health Director Says September May Be Like August

Klickitat County Public Health Director Erinn Quinn told County Commissioners and the Board of Health on Tuesday that the County saw more COVID-19 cases in August than from March to July combined, and there may be even more in September.  Quinn did say the last couple of weeks have provided what she hopes is the start of a positive trend:  a slight decrease in the number of cases they are seeing.  Representatives of both Skyline and Klickitat Valley hospitals reported no one was currently hospitalized due to COVID at their facilities.  But Skyline’s Jenna Newcomb pointed out it remains a challenge to transfer patients to Portland area hospitals for a higher level of care for any reason because of the strain COVID has brought to those facilities.
