Oregon, Washington and California issue travel advisories
To fight the rapid spread of COVID-19, the governors of Oregon, Washington and California issued travel advisories urging visitors entering their states or returning home from travel outside these states to self-quarantine. The advisories urge against non-essential out-of-state travel, ask people to self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving from another state or country, and encourage residents to stay local.
Oregon’s travel advisory does not apply to people who cross state borders for “essential travel,” including work, study, critical infrastructure support, supply chains, economic services, health, immediate medical care and safety and security.

Changes to COVID-19 Test Reporting
Starting Dec. 3, 2020, OHA is revising its process for reporting test results to align with the new statewide framework. This new health and safety framework is based on four risk levels for counties level of COVID-19 spread: extreme, high, moderate and lower risk. One of the key new metrics in determining the spread of the virus is the percentage of positive COVID-19 tests. To determine that, OHA will no longer count the people tested and will instead count test results. This change will provide a more complete picture of the spread of the disease in a community.
To support this change, and to maintain transparency in reporting on COVID-19, OHA is changing its public dashboards. That transition is expected to be complete in about two weeks. During that time, OHA will continue to update its Tableau dashboards on weekdays. OHA has developed an interim dashboard to report test results at the state and county levels until the new revised dashboard is deployed.

1This includes cases confirmed by diagnostic testing and presumptive cases. Presumptive cases are people without a positive diagnostic test who have COVID-19-like symptoms and had close contact with a laboratory confirmed case. Antibody test results are not included in our data. County of residence for cases may change as new information becomes available. If changes occur, we will update our counts accordingly.
2For additional details on individuals who have died from COVID-19 in Oregon, please refer to our press releases.
3This includes cases who test negative and are not epi-linked to a confirmed case.
4Ever hospitalized, if available, as reported to OPERA. OPERA is the state of Oregon’s electronic disease surveillance system for COVID-19. Cases are considered hospitalized if they were ever admitted to the hospital for inpatient care during the their COVID-19 illness. Cases who were examined in but not admitted to a hospital may be incorrectly classified as hospitalized until interview and medical record review are complete, leading to fluctuations in the number of hospitalized COVID-19 cases.

School Reopening
Oregon public health officials have developed evidence-based metrics to help school boards and school districts make decisions about how they can safely reopen schools.

Social Media Graphics: COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccines are being carefully evaluated in clinical trials. They will only be approved if they meet safety standards and make it much less likely you'll get COVID-19.
People who treat or support people at-risk for COVID-19 (health care workers; staff and residents at nursing facilities) will have first access to vaccination.
Vaccination gives us hope the pandemic will end, but in the meantime, we need to continue safety measures to keep the virus from spreading.
COVID-19 vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing. Any authorization for vaccine will be vetted by three independent scientific groups.
