Many health officials are emphasizing the need for people to stay home if they feel sick to help continue to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Hood River County Health Department Director Patricia Elliott says that’s where they are seeing spread of the disease happen in workplaces. She acknowledges economic stressors for the workforce is an issue as they try to change attitudes, but adds the federal government has put in place mandatory COVID-19 leave provisions. Elliott did say they have received most of the test results taken after an outbreak at Duckwall Fruit, and now they are seeing people who were considered close contacts coming up positive. She said those people were already counted as presumptive cases, so the total numbers don’t change.
