Oregon has its first case of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 that is sweeping across the world. Below is a quick rundown of what we know and don’t know at this time, based in part on Oregon health officials’ Friday afternoon press conference.

What we know:

-- Oregon’s first case of the novel coronavirus that originated in China and has killed around 3,000 people was identified Friday. Officials are calling it a “presumptive” case until the local test is confirmed (or not) by the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

-- There is no known travel exposure for the person who has tested positive. It is thus considered a case of “community spread,” meaning it’s likely there will be more local cases.

-- Local officials are conducting “contact tracing” to identify and notify people who may have come into contact with the person believed to have the coronavirus. They are calling this their “top priority right now.”

-- The person who has tested positive for the novel coronavirus lives in Washington County and works at Forest Hills Elementary School.

-- Another local individual is being tested.

-- State officials will publicly announce all individual positive results.

-- Gov. Kate Brown has a statewide “coronavirus response team” up and running and she says the state is “ready” for this.

-- Officials say “concern is real and reasonable” but at this point people should “go about their daily lives.”

-- Most people who get infected will have only mild, flu-like symptoms and will recover without difficulty.

-- It’s too early to nail down the virus’ fatality rate; early indications put it at around 2 percent overall, higher for people with underlying health issues.

-- Washington state officials on Saturday announced a person has died of COVID-19, the first such death in the United States.
