Yamhill County has the capacity thanks in part to an abundance of volunteers to provide 4,000 to 5,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine a week, according to Health and Human Services Director Lindsey Manfrin. Because of supply constraints, however, the county is receiving roughly a tenth of that amount.
Coronavirus in Oregon: State reports 435 new cases, 2 new deaths
Updated Jan 26, 2021;
The Oregon Health Authority on Monday reported 435 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and two more deaths as cases and hospitalizations continued a slow downward trend.
The case count marks the lowest tally for a single day since late October even as the state diagnosed its third case of the more-contagious variant of the coronavirus. The first two patients had no known travel history, suggesting the virus is likely circulating within the state.
However, the health authority said the third case, a Washington County patient, has traveled outside the country during the exposure period; it did not specify where.
Oregon has administered a total of 308,051 first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
