OHA State Health Officer Dean Sidelinger at today's press conference: "Daily cases, COVID-19 related hospitalizations & the % of people testing positive continue to decline. Over the past week, we reported 1,725 new cases, a 26% drop. That’s the lowest weekly total since Sept."

"Thankfully we are also seeing a steady downturn in #COVID19 related hospitalizations, which has greatly lessened the pressure on our emergency rooms and local hospitals. In the past week, new COVID-19 related hospitalizations dropped 24% over the previous week."

"And in yet another encouraging trend: #COVID19 deaths – always a lagging indicator – are also declining. OHA reported 20 deaths in our most recent COVID-19 Weekly Report, a 60% drop from the previous week."

OHA State Health Officer Dean Sidelinger speaking at today's press conference: "I usually begin my comments with an overview of the state of the #COVID19 pandemic in Oregon. But this week I want to further profile the two pandemics alluded to earlier."

"In one pandemic, as we near the threshold of 70% of adult Oregonians getting at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine: Spread of the virus is clearly waning."

"Daily cases and #COVID19 hospitalizations and the percentage of people testing positive are in steady decline since the most recent surge gripped us six weeks ago."

OHA Director Pat Allen speaking at today's press conference: "I want to provide some updates and make a few observations as we enter the homestretch toward our goal of vaccinating 7 in 10 adult Oregonians."

"We're nearly 6 months into Oregon's #COVID19 vaccination drive, and it’s been close to six weeks since we expanded eligibility to all adults on April 19th. During these past few months, we’ve seen the virus come roaring back and then begin to retreat."

"In that time, a stark picture has emerged. There isn’t one pandemic in Oregon – there are two: One is a pandemic that is dying out among people who are vaccinated. And the other is a pandemic that is raging as fiercely as ever among people who are unvaccinated."
