No New COVID Cases From Flagstone Outbreak Since October 1

North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell told Wasco County Commissioners that there have been no COVID-19 cases associated with the outbreak at Flagstone Senior Living and its memory care unit since October 1.  The outbreak that started September 5 resulted in 52 confirmed COVID cases with 12 fatalities.  McDonell said there were a number of lessons to be learned, most notably the importance of quick testing, and increasing understanding of the symptoms in older adults in long-term care and to be on the alert for them.  McDonell added communication is also critical, and working hard with all families and agencies involved to be forthcoming about information without invading privacy.
