Reported COVID-19 cases in Clark County school districts have rapidly increased since students and staff returned from winter break last week.
Data released through school district websites showed 919 new cases among students and faculty at all Clark County schools but those in Battle Ground Public Schools in the first full week of classes, up dramatically from the number of cases reported in the week before winter break. Updated numbers from Battle Ground were not made available.
The playground structure at Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver has closed indefinitely after a fire destroyed it early Monday morning.

Four Vancouver police officers were involved in the fatal shooting of a man early Sunday morning after police say he confronted them with a knife as they responded to a disturbance call at a home in east Vancouver.

TUMWATER — Late last week, disturbing rumors started to fly on social media.
The state Board of Health, they claimed, was about to authorize local health officials and police to round up people for refusing to get coronavirus vaccines and forcibly lock them up in quarantine facilities.
