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.
