The Oregon Health Authority on Tuesday reported 1,282 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and 35 more deaths.
The state also released more details about how vaccines are being distributed in Oregon. On Monday, an additional 2,573 doses of the vaccine were administered, raising the state’s total to 7,203.
In a news conference Tuesday morning, Gov. Kate Brown said Oregon’s teachers, school staff and other education-related workers should be next in line -- after healthcare staff and senior-care residents and workers -- to get the coronavirus vaccine.
“I am doing this because I think it’s critical that our teachers, our educators, our school personnel -- whether it’s folks working in the lunchrooms or doing the transportation -- be protected, and that we are doing this while we are working to get our kids back into the classroom,” Brown said.
