Klickitat County Public Health Director Erinn Quinn says COVID-19 case counts in the County are starting to trend downward after reaching a peak in January. Quinn says there were 788 reported COVID cases in Klickitat County in January, more than in the first 13 months of the pandemic. But she says they are seeing evidence of the numbers going down, noting COVID trends in Klickitat County have tended to run a bit behind the western part of Washington. Quinn added local hospitals are doing well at this point, but transfers to higher levels of care in larger cities remain difficult.
