Working Together, We Help All Oregonians Right now, every action we take matters. Not just to our families, our neighbors and coworkers, but to our fellow Oregonians. While the Office of Emergency Management always recommends having a two-week supply of essentials, if we stuff our grocery store carts with more essentials than we need, that means our vulnerable neighbors, and the first responders and health care professionals who are busy working to keep us safe, may go without. Grand Princess cruise ship passengers have come home! Oregon residents who were passengers on the Grand Princess cruise ship have all returned. They were welcomed at airports in Redmond, Portland and Medford by family and friends, as well as state and local public health authorities. These Oregonians have been through a trying and traumatic experience, and our goal at OHA has been to ensure they have everything they need to settle back into their daily lives. None of the passengers have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. They have been asked to monitor their symptoms, and they may be asked to limit their movement and contact with others out of an abundance of caution. Most importantly, we welcome them home! OHA announces 18 new COVID-19 cases Oregon now has a total of 65 people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19. The Oregon Health Authority announced 18 new cases of COVID-19, as of 10:30 a.m. today. OHA is reporting seven new cases in Washington County, five in Linn County, four in Clackamas County and one new case each in Marion and Multnomah Counties. Of the Linn County cases at the Oregon Veterans’ Home in Lebanon, four were previously reported by Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs in a media released last evening. These results came in after OHA updated its daily count. Now that laboratory capacity has expanded in Oregon, test results are coming in electronically to providers, counties and OHA throughout the day. Some counties may release county data sooner than reported on the Oregon Health Authority website, because OHA updates its website once a day. Read the full press release for more details.
