Oregonians Remain At Risk for Coronavirus

Data published by the U.S. CDC on August 14, 2020, suggest that a substantial number of COVID-19 cases in Oregon have gone undiagnosed --- was approximately 10 times the measured cumulative COVID-19 incidence obtained by nucleic acid testing --- and that a large portion of Oregon’s population remains susceptible to COVID-19 infection.

These findings are similar to those reported in a recent survey in the neighboring state of Idaho.
