There are 10 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,582.
Oregon Health Authority reported 713 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19, bringing the state total to 194,542.
OHA released its latest COVID-19 forecast, which showed lower transmission of the virus through late April and projects fewer hospitalizations and daily cases through June 1.
According to the model, the effective reproduction rate the expected number of secondary cases that a single case generates was estimated to be 0.86 through April 28.
At that same level of transmission, daily cases would decline to 140 per 100,000 people, which would amount to an average of 420 new daily cases with 17 fewer daily hospitalizations by June 1.
