Wasco County COVID Cases On Pace To Drop

With Wasco County entering the extreme risk category of the state’s COVID-19 categories Friday, it does appear the County’s pace of new COVID cases this week is down from past couple of weeks.  North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell says after Wasco County saw 39 cases for the week of April 18-24, it has seen 21 cases so far this week with a couple of days remaining.  McDonell does point out that won’t immediately take Wasco County out of the extreme risk designation.  McDonell added it appears that this week the state will be over the 300 hospitalized metric that activates the extreme risk designation.  38 percent of Wasco County’s population has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, with 26 percent having completed their series.  In addition, NCPHD released numbers showing nearly 48 percent of eligible County residents, those over 16, had received at least one shot.
