PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say Oregon has surpassed 200,000 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic. The state’s death toll is 2,660. Oregon’s daily case count, hospitalizations, deaths and positivity rates have been decreasing recently. Oregon officials have been increasing the effort to vaccinate more residents using lottery and economy reopening incentives and hosting additional vaccination events. Last week a “teen-focused” event was held in Benton County, where nearly 500 people, between 12 and 15 years old, received a shot. Attendees could enter a raffle for a Chromebook, Airpods and gift cards.
