The Re-Surge And Response: COVID-19 Q & A

As new cases of COVID-19 surge, the only argument seems to be whether this represents a second wave of infection, or just the continuation of the first one.

Oregon set new records for new cases several times in recent weeks, largely because of outbreaks at a food processing plant on the coast and a church in Eastern Oregon.

Jackson County's caseload jumped, also because of an outbreak at a food plant. Dr. Jim Shames, County Medical Director, visits with more answers to questions about the virus and its progress. His Klamath County counterpart, Dr. Wendy Warren, joins in with details of the rapid growth in cases there.
