In its updated modeling report, OHA released projections for COVID-19 progression in Oregon. In all scenarios the modeling projects, it shows transmissions have increased since reopening on May 15.
The most optimistic scenario shows a 10% increase in transmissions after reopening on May 15. It shows that the number of new infections per day would stay relatively stable over the next month.
The median model shows a 15% increase in transmission after May 15, which appears to fir the recent hospitalization numbers and diagnoses better than the more optimistic model. It shows the number of infections will gradually increase over the next month to approximately 170 new infections per day.
The most pessimistic scenario model shows a 15% increase in transmission after May 15, plus an additional 10% increase in transmission after May 25. Under this scenario, the new infections per day will increase more dramatically to somewhere around 925 more new infections per day and 17 more new severe cases per day by July 3.
