COVID-19 Resources & Updates

The Oregon Medical Association is monitoring COVID-19 information nationally and locally. We will continue to work closely with federal, state, and local public health agencies and stakeholders to provide information to you and your patients about COVID-19 response in order to minimize transmission in our communities. For the most up-to-date information, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is maintaining a live webpage detailing COVID-19 cases in Oregon and beyond.
