Oregon recorded close to 3,000 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday with a seven-day average of 2,025, amid the continuing spread of the Delta variant.
The recovery team's announcement came shortly after Patrick Allen, the Director of the Oregon Health Authority, outlined a similar message about the state during a briefing on Thursday morning, where he said that around 200 patients were waiting for ICU beds in medical facilities.
"Patients are parked in hallways. Staffing is critically short. I need to be direct about what's causing this crisis: a growing wave of unvaccinated patients who have become so sick with the Delta variant they need to be hospitalized." Oregon has also seen 56 percent of its population fully vaccinated, which is more than the 51 percent reported across the U.S.
