As the national COVID-19 numbers continue to increase, Oregon continues to see rises in cases with it’s largest daily total Thursday with 389 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19.

Thursday’s case count of 389 is Oregon’s highest total daily case count since the onset of the pandemic adding 1,596 new cases in Oregon in the past week. The recent increase in cases has been attributed to workplace outbreaks and community spread according to the Oregon Health Authority.
