The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak started in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in December 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.[ citation needed ]

As of 3 May 2020, more than 3.5 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, resulting in more than 247,000 deaths. [1] More than 1.12 million people have recovered. [1]

The pandemic was first confirmed to have spread to the United States in January 2020. Cases have been confirmed in all fifty U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and all inhabited U.S. territories except American Samoa. [2] As of March 31,2020, the U.S. has the most confirmed active cases in the world and ranks third in the number of total deaths from the virus. [3] The pandemic was confirmed to have reached the U.S. state of Oregon on February 28, 2020.[ citation needed ]

Cases

Oregon's first presumptive case was announced in Portland on February 28, 2020. Governor Kate Brown spoke and the director of the Oregon Health Authority confirmed someone from Washington County who worked at Forest Hills Elementary School in Lake Oswego was being treated at Hillsboro's Kaiser Westside Medical Center. The Lake Oswego School District closed the school for cleaning. [4] [5] The first case in Multnomah County and fifteenth in Oregon was confirmed on March 10; the patient was treatment at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. [6] An employee who worked at the Wells Fargo Center tested positive on March 14, prompting building tenant Davis Wright Tremaine to close offices in Portland. [7] More than 30 people in the Portland metropolitan area tested positive by April 1. [8]

The Healthcare at Foster Creek nursing home in southeast Portland was Oregon's largest coronavirus death cluster, as of mid April, with 50 confirmed cases and 14 deaths. The Oregon Department of Human Services identified many safety violations. [9] [10] On April 30, eleven cases were confirmed among the transient population in the Portland area. [11]

[16] 120 beds were made available at the PPR-owned Charles Jordan Community Center in north Portland on March 19. [17] Metro's Oregon Convention Center, unable to host events since March 12, was converted into a temporary shelter with 130–140 beds. The Joint Office of Homeless Services, a collaboration between the City of Portland and Multnomah County, hoped to open additional beds for healthy individuals as overflow from existing shelters. [18] [19] Trucks normally used by Multnomah Country Library and for animal control were repurposed to assist with the convention center conversion. [20]

Six field offices, including one in southeast Portland, continued to operate "by appointment only for limited commercial driver licensing services". [30]
