Wildfires Slow COVID-19 Testing

(Portland, OR)  --  The wildfire smoke is causing problems for COVID-19 testing in Oregon.  The Oregon Health Authority reports test numbers are down because of hazardous conditions.  Tests may also be delayed because of problems at labs that process the tests.  The Oregon State Lab was forced to close yesterday.  The latest COVID-19 numbers show two new deaths in Oregon and 151 new cases. There have been 511 deaths and 29-thousand-four-hundred-84 cases since the pandemic began.
