Wasco County has reported only six new COVID-19 cases in the past two weeks, but County officials are reminding people to keep observing public health guidelines, noting case rate increases in other parts of the state. County Commission Chair Scott Hege said this is not the time to let our guard down. County Administrator Tyler Stone noted people can still use the North Central Public Health District website, ncphd.org, to sign up to be vaccinated. He added the district is working with the Oregon Health Authority for Wasco County to receive some of the Pfizer vaccine approved for use in 16 and 17-year-olds.
