(Portland, OR) -- An updated projection from OHSU shows nearly 12-hundred people will be hospitalized with COVID-19 by September 6th. That's over a hundred people more than the initial prediction. Health officials say 45-percent of Oregon's ICU beds are currently filled with COVID-19 patients. The statewide indoor mask mandate that started August 13th isn't having a significant impact yet. Oregon's outdoor mask mandate begins today. Health officials say masking and vaccinations will reduce the surge of patients.
