Coronavirus in Oregon: 299 new cases, 8 deaths as congresswoman scrutinizes large workplace outbreak

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, whose district includes Warrenton, pressed state health officials Tuesday for answers about the outbreak. Saying she was "deeply concerned," Bonamici questioned if the outbreak had been preceded by complaints about the facility and what steps are being taken to maintain physical distancing in worker housing. "This outbreak threatens the health, well-being and economic stability of many Clatsop County residents, including businesses and workers who are afraid of a new wave of closures," Bonamici wrote in a letter to the Oregon Health Authority.
