Testing Numbers Should Be Up From Earlier Weeks

Hood River County’s COVID-19 testing numbers are expected to go up dramatically when last week’s totals are released by the Oregon Health Authority in the next few days.  County Health Department Director Trish Elliott told the County Commission on Monday that heavy smoke conditions during wildfires in the Northwest in recent weeks had slowed testing.  Elliott reported that 170 tests were done between three events in Cascade Locks, Parkdale, and Hood River last week, and none have come back as positive.
