Oregon officials announced 704 new confirmed and presumptive coronavirus cases and two new deaths Friday, continuing a multi-week trend in increasing daily case counts that is expected to continue into May.
Hospitalizations climbed to 199, the Oregon Health Authority said, though they could grow to 330 a month from now, according to Oregon Health & Science University forecasts.
The good news, however, is that every Oregonian 16 and older will be eligible for a vaccine against COVID-19 starting Monday, April 19. Officials Friday announced 1.5 million Oregonians have now been partially or fully vaccinated.
“If you haven’t already had a chance to get vaccinated, make a plan to do so now,” Gov. Kate Brown said Friday. “Tell your loved ones and neighbors you plan to get vaccinated, and share your reason why. And if you have already signed up for an appointment, help a friend sign up, too.”
