      A staph infection outbreak at the Cowlitz County Jail has led officials to segregate a handful of inmates and conduct a precautionary sanitization of the entire facility.

Two inmates have tested positive for the MRSA skin infection and officials are still awaiting test results on seven more, said Sue Grinnell, director of the Cowlitz County Health Department.
