Coronavirus update: Surge in Redmond
Coronavirus cases climbed dramatically across Oregon for a fifth
consecutive week, according to the latest state data, tripling from
the levels of mid-March. The Oregon Health Authority reported 5,729
confirmed or presumed infections for the week ending Sunday, April
25, up 21% from the previous week. New cases slightly outpaced the
increase in week-to-week testing, which stood at 17%.
If there’s solace, it appears that the week that ended Sunday, May
2, is not on track to see such a high growth rate. In fact, there’s a possi-
bility the weekly case count stays roughly flat or even declines.
In the previous week, ZIP codes in Central and Southern Oregon
recorded the most new cases, while parts of the the Portland area and
Salem also posted high numbers. The Oregonian monitors state coro-
navirus data, reporting by ZIP code the areas with the greatest weekly
changes.
97756: Redmond: This ZIP code added 145 cases, raising its tally
to 2,075. That’s the 17th most in Oregon and 73rd most per capita
since the start of the pandemic. This ZIP code also recorded new con-
firmed or presumed infections of 37 per 10,000 people during the
same week, up slightly from the previous week.
— The Oregonian
in La Grande, an accomplish-
ment that requires a grade
point average of at least 3.5
and a minimum of 12 graded
credits.
