PORT ORFORD, Ore. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a 21-year-old hiker who fell from the cliffs above Nellies Cove near Port Orford on Monday evening.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend received a request for assistance from Curry County dispatch around 6:30 p.m. on Monday evening. According to dispatch, the hiker had fallen and sustained multiple injuries that needed emergency medical attention.
Brown said because of the rise in cases and the increase in hospitalizations over the past month, at least 12 counties are at risk of moving back into the extreme risk category.

The case growth comes as no surprise, with warnings of consequences growing in tandem with ever-increasing daily case and hospitalizations counts. Friday’s new case total of 1,020 was the highest recorded in more than three months.
Hospitalizations are among the primary measures Gov. Kate Brown is using to decide whether to shut down indoor dining in some particularly hard-hit counties. Saturday’s total of 295 coronavirus patients occupying hospital beds falls five short of Brown’s cutoff for moving what appears to be a dozen counties into the “extreme risk” category.
