The Oregon Health Authority on Friday reported 1,390 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and 21 more deaths.
The new numbers mark the passage of two bleak milestones: the state has now seen more than 100,000 cases and 1,300 fatalities since the pandemic began.
“While this significant number reflects how widely the novel coronavirus has spread within our communities, I want to acknowledge every Oregonian who has been affected by this pandemic and thank the vast majority of Oregonians who’ve taken steps to protect their families, their neighbors, and the most vulnerable members of our communities,” Rachael Banks, public health director for the state, said in a statement.
Officials also released new modeling Friday, which suggested that, if the rate of spread from late November continued, the state could see as many as 2,200 cases reported daily by Jan. 1. Under that same scenario, at least 110 additional people per day would require hospitalization.
If the public ignores public health guidelines like wearing masks and social distancing, the rate of spread could increase, officials said, resulting in as many as 2,550 new reported cases per day and 125 daily hospitalizations.
“Conversely, if people remain diligent against the virus, transmission could mirror the levels from mid-October, with daily cases at about 1,200. Under that scenario hospitalizations would drop substantially to about 55 per day,” the Oregon Health Authority said in a statement.
State data also showed Oregonians are engaging in less travel and three out of four people are regularly wearing masks or face coverings.
