Judith (Judy) Ann DeYoung Work 1943-2020 OHA releases updated statewide contact tracing staffing levels Wednesday, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) released an update to the number of COVID-19 case investigators and contact tracers statewide, showing that Oregon counties now have 500 people able to car- ry out case investigations and contact tracing func- tions. Many counties continue to hire and train staff to be prepared for any surge in cases. This staffing estimate is based on county reports to OHA. In addition to county staff, OHA has just under 100 staff ready to assist counties with case investi- gation and contact tracing in the event of an outbreak. Some of the OHA staff have been deployed to recent outbreaks in Union and Lincoln counties, along with state epidemiological resources and additional forms of support. As of June 15, the current statewide total of county and state contact tracers is now about 600 people, an increase of 359 from a pri- or survey conducted in late April.
