Oregon health officials announced 1,420 coronavirus cases Friday and 14 deaths connected to COVID-19.
A new Oregon COVID-19 forecast indicates that while hospitalizations will continue to decline, that decline will be slower than it has been in the weeks since hospitalizations peaked last month.
Total beds filled with COVID-19 patients will fall to about 400 — from the current 513 now — by around Thanksgiving, according to the Oregon Health & Science University analysis. The projections, put together by OHSU’s Peter Graven, are based in part on data indicating some Oregonians have started gathering indoors again.
Where the new cases are by county: Baker (4), Benton (24), Clackamas (112), Clatsop (6), Columbia (23), Coos (20), Crook (18), Curry (1), Deschutes (109), Douglas (30), Harney (10), Hood River (6), Jackson (82), Jefferson (21), Josephine (33), Klamath (37), Lake (3), Lane (99), Lincoln (13), Linn (82), Malheur (25), Marion (178), Morrow (1), Multnomah (213), Polk (26), Sherman (4), Tillamook (10), Umatilla (29), Union (7), Wallowa (2), Wasco (14), Washington (140) and Yamhill (38).
