(Portland, OR) -- Oregonians who took steps to avoid spreading respiratory viruses during the holidays helped slow the spread of infections. The Oregon Health Authority reports RSV infections are declining, flu cases are peaking, and COVID-19 cases are expected to reach their peak soon. Oregon State Health Officer Dr. Dean Sidelinger says while hospitals continue to operate at or above capacity, they are seeing improvements in respiratory virus hospitalizations. Sidelinger says actions by Oregonians to limit the spread of viruses made a difference.
