Update (1:28 pm PT) — of Oregon Department of Health On Friday, we reported 275 newly identified putative coronavirus cases. Oregon currently has a total of 11,454 diagnoses.

Due to the ever-increasing number of cases, OHA said it has requested everyone in the state to voluntarily limit indoor gatherings to groups of 10 or fewer for at least the next three weeks. It was

“I’ve seen COVID-19 spread as people get together since Oregon began to reopen,” said OHA director Patrick Allen on Friday.

State health agencies reported two new coronavirus-related deaths on Friday. There are 232 confirmed deaths from the virus in Oregon.

Much of Friday’s lawsuits have occurred in the Portland area, with 37 in Multnomah County, 44 in Washington County, and 11 in Clackamas County. Umatilla County also had a large number of new cases, 51 cases.

As of Friday, 208 people were hospitalized in the state with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 30 using ventilators. Coronaviruses have led to 1,180 hospitalizations throughout the state during the pandemic.

Epidemiologist outlines possible COVID-19 infection

In a call with reporters Friday, epidemiologists Dr. Dean Sidelinger and OHA discussed the authorities’ new forecasts for the potential spread of coronaviruses in the state.

If Oregon is estimated to remain at the current coronavirus prevalence, the state has 1,100 infections diagnosed each day, with only 200-300 diagnosed, and the state has 3,600 cases by the end of July. You may see a new infection of. Current infection rates predict that approximately 50 people in Oregon will need to be hospitalized each day.

In the worst scenario, the coronavirus infection will increase by 10%. As a result, about 7,300 new infections and 76 daily hospitalizations occur each day.

Finally, Sidelinger sees a slight increase in coronavirus cases, even if the infection is reduced by 10%.

Sidelinger also said hospital capacity in Oregon seems to be adequate for at least the next two months. If the number of cases continues to grow in the future, that ability can be a problem, he said.

According to Allen, test capabilities look similar.

“Oregon’s testing capabilities are increasing dramatically each week. In the last week alone, we performed more than 39,000 tests,” he said. “But due to various factors, supply chain testing is under tension.”

Allen said Oregon could run short of test supplies due to other states often competing in the same domestic supply chain. He said OHA is working to identify more lab capabilities to offset future shortfalls the state may face. We also continue to call on the federal government for more supplies.

More than 1,100 cases in Clark County

On Friday, health officials in Clark County, Washington, reported 38 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19. The county currently has a total of 1,166 cases of coronavirus.

The county reported two new deaths—a woman in her 50s with the underlying illness and an unidentified male in her 80s with the underlying illness. There are a total of 32 coronavirus-related deaths in Clark County.

The Clark County application to move to Phase 3 of the Washington resumption process is pending. Governor Jay Inslee announced last week that there will be a pause of at least two weeks in response to the growing number of cases. The county remains Phase 2.

Latest data available from Washington Department of Health There are 38,581 confirmed coronavirus cases in the state, indicating 1,409 known deaths. As of Wednesday, the coronavirus has led to a hospitalization of 4,665 people in Washington.
