Oregon COVID Situation “Precarious” But Protective Measures May Be Helping

Oregon Health Authority epidemiologist Dean Sidelinger says while the state’s COVID situation remains precarious and concerning, there is also evidence protective measures adopted by the state may be blunting the current surge.  While the state continues to see record case numbers, Sidelinger says they are not rising as steeply following the Thanksgiving holiday as initially feared.  Sidelinger added the Oregon Department of Human Services is expanding its network of COVID-19 recovery units to seven long-term care facilities to add 200 beds, giving the state more flexibility in responding to COVID-19 outbreaks in long-term care facilities and help ease demand for hospital beds.
