Since the February newsletter, the number of confirmed cases has changed daily. To monitor the number of cases, you can visit this map. Governor Kate Brown has issued a stay-at-home order (linked here) that orders Oregonians to only leave their home when it is essential. ORVOAD encourages members to keep up to date with OHA information and updates, as well as the CDC website.
