Aggressive social distancing restrictions have helped Oregon avert thousands of new cases of coronavirus and hundreds of additional hospitalizations and should continue for at least six more weeks to prevent a resurgence of the epidemic, according to the latest estimates. New projections released Saturday by the Oregon Health Authority show the state has avoided 18,000 new cases of the highly contagious virus and as many as 500 hospitalizations since strict social distancing measures were imposed last month. The figures are just estimates but ones public health officials pay close attention to.
