Oregon s COVID-19 case surge is straining hospital resources, and could trigger new restrictions in a dozen counties. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Oregon rose to 318 Monday, straining hospital resources and passing a state-set threshold that puts several counties on track for the “extreme risk” category. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is expected to announce updated risk levels early this week, and counties that qualify will see increased restrictions on businesses and gatherings starting Friday. The new hospitalization figures come as COVID-19 variants are becoming more established in Oregon. Cases have risen dramatically over the last week. “In the race between vaccines and variants, the variants are gaining ground and have the upper hand,” Brown said in a press conference Friday.
