OHA Announces Revised Testing Guidelines

The Oregon Health Authority announced that it has revised guidelines for COVID-19 testing to prioritize impacted populations and all frontline workers.  The guidelines continue to allow healthcare providers to make clinical decisions about their patients.  In addition, if supplies allow, asymptomatic people within the congregate care or group living systems can be considered for testing.  The newly revised guidelines urge clinicians to potentially increase testing for Oregonians who may be at particular risk for contracting COVID-19.  That includes those living or working in congregate care or group living facilities, underserved and marginalized populations, including racial and ethnic minority groups, and essential frontline workers, including those providing healthcare services and those serving the public, such as grocery store workers.
