Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced Wednesday that she’s loosening many restrictions she had placed just a week ago on bars, restaurants, gyms, stores and religious organizations in order to stem the unprecedented, out-of-control spread of COVID-19. Starting Thursday, Dec. 3, many of Brown’s restrictions will be lifted in Oregon counties that haven’t been as hard hit by the coronavirus. But most of Brown’s restrictions likely will still remain in place Dec. 3 in 21 counties -- including Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Columbia, Marion, Lane, Linn and Deschutes counties.

The vaccine trials against the Coronavirus are giving great news to the world. The efficacy of Pfizer and BioNtech is promising and the first batch of vaccines may be coming in December to the US. But what bothers on the other side is the largest growing number of cases and deaths recorded in the US each day. The US has recorded more than 2100 Covid-19 deaths on Tuesday alone.
