An update from the Oregon Health Authority reported 1,141 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19, bringing the state total to 472,137.

OHA’s COVID-19 Modeling Report said with vaccines for children 5 to 11 years old arriving in Oregon and beginning to be administered, the forecast indicates a possible reduction in the spread of the virus. The report projects that if 60 percent of newly eligible children become vaccinated, it will drop the overall proportion of Oregonians susceptible to infection from 23 percent as of October 26th to 20 percent.
