The Oregon Health Authority on Wednesday announced 47 new COVID-19 deaths and 2,352 new cases, marking the latest evidence delta spread is slowing after a brutal summer surge.
The rolling seven-day average of cases has now decreased to 1,842, down 21% from the Sept. 2 peak. Average daily cases are now at their lowest levels since mid-August.
“We have been able to cut the projected length of this surge, that is really good news,” Gov. Kate Brown said in a press conference Tuesday. “However there are still some challenging times ahead and we must remain vigilant.”
Those challenging times include not only the potential for a resurgence of delta, but the aftermath of those already infected. Hospitalizations and deaths typically come after infections, with active hospitalizations down only 3% from the peak and deaths remaining exceedingly high.
The state reported hospitals remain under a significant strain responding to the virus, with 7% of staffed intensive care beds available and 8% of staffed non-ICU beds open.
Where the new cases are by county: Baker (13), Benton (40), Clackamas (137), Clatsop (6), Columbia (18), Coos (154), Crook (30), Curry (37), Deschutes (86), Douglas (132), Gilliam (2), Grant (2), Harney (19), Hood River (5), Jackson (201), Jefferson (8), Josephine (86), Klamath (85), Lake (21), Lane (142), Lincoln (12), Linn (118), Malheur (82), Marion (257), Morrow (6), Multnomah (147), Polk (64), Tillamook (15), Umatilla (115), Union (7), Wallowa (2), Wasco (29), Washington (135) and Yamhill (139).
