Klickitat County is seeing a downward trend in COVID-19 cases over the last few weeks. Public Health Director Erinn Quinn says they currently have 19 active cases, and that has been decreasing over the last month. Quinn said the Klickitat County vaccination rate isn’t as high as the Washington statewide number or for neighboring Oregon counties, with 46 percent of those age 12 and over in the County having initiated vaccination, but she believes they are headed in the right direction. Quinn says the County Health Department has been getting requests from various groups and businesses to bring vaccines to them, adding they continue to have people seeking to get the shot. Around the region, Hood River County reports 71% of those 16 and over have been vaccinated, Wasco County 60.4%, Sherman County 51.7%, Gilliam County 41.2%, and Skamania County 34.6%.
