OHA Officials Say COVID-19 Numbers Continue Downward Trend

Oregon Health Authority officials said during a Thursday press briefing that the state’s positive COVID-19 trends continue.  OHA Director Patrick Allen said for the week ending this past Sunday cases were down 13 percent from the previous week, and it was the third straight week with a decline.  The percentage of positive COVID-19 tests also dropped from 5.4 % to 5.1%.    But Allen said there is still a long way to go, especially to open schools to in-person learning.  Allen said hospitalizations have dropped by 41% since August 14, but added that must be confirmed by additional data.
