The Oregon Health Authority announced 529 new cases of COVID-19
Eugene, OR – Unfortunately, 7 new COVID-19 related deaths were reported as well, raising the state’s coronavirus death toll to 2,031.
The new cases come as Gov. Kate Brown announced that restaurants, bars and brewpubs in the Portland metro area could reopen for indoor dining with a limited capacity starting Friday.
The state opened up general vaccinations to Oregonians ages 80 and older on Monday, in a day wreaked by online havoc and frustration as metro-area appointments filled up within hours of registration opening.
Many were able to secure appointment slots over the next week, but local health providers who run the Portland area’s two vaccination clinics couldn’t say on what date new appointments would open up for booking.
