Third Coronavirus Case Reported In Oregon

A third case of Coronavirus has been diagnosed in Oregon. The person lives in Umatilla county and is hospitalized in Walla Walla. The person went to a youth basketball tournament in Weston, northeast of Pendleton – the gym is being disinfected. State Health Officer Dr. Dean Sidelinger says they're trying to identify all people who had close contact with the patient who also worked for the Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton. That facility has been completely closed including the casino, hotel, restaurants and all other facilities until the cleaning is complete. Sidelinger says all three cases in Oregon are likely the result of community transmission – meaning there will likely be additional cases.
