PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) – The Oregon Health Commission on Sunday registered 1,517 new confirmed and predictable cases of COVID-19 in Oregon for the third day in a row.
There have been more than 944,444 negative COVID-19 tests in the state during epidemics. The new positive cases announced on Sunday bring the state’s total to 65,170.
“Oregon is on a steep and complete decline in increasing corona virus cases,” said OHA Director Patrick Allen. “But we are not powerless in the face of this virus. Because it is up to us to slow down the spread. Your choices make a difference.
Local health officials in every part of the state have been investigating the eruptions, which began with gatherings that appeared to be innocent at the time, but many fell ill and, in some cases, were hospitalized and died.
Thanks to this, cancel any project you have to celebrate at home with large groups of family and friends. The safest, smartest and most caring way to protect the people you love is to make your Thanksgiving party small and not confined to any other home above your own. Keep the holidays a time to remember, not a time to regret. ”
