OHA Releases Weekly Testing Summary

Oregon’s number of tests performed has been steadily increasing, but the number of positive cases and the test positivity rate have increased significantly since late May.

The increase of positive tests reveals a growing number of individuals with COVID-19, which was expected due to all counties being in Phase 1 or Phase 2 of reopening. Recent large outbreaks around the state have also contributed to these increases.
