Local Health Officials Remind People To Keep Wearing Masks

The state of Oregon announced on Monday that indoor mask mandates will be lifted no later than March 31, but local health officials are reminding people that it’s not time to discard them yet.  Hood River County Health Department Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says masks still need to be used indoors, emphasizing they work, noting drop in flu cases over the last couple of years.  Hood River County is hosting a COVID-19 vaccination clinic provided by the Federal Emergency Management Administration at the County Fairgrounds in Odell.  It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through February 19.
