Doctors and health officials around the state say they are preparing for an influx of patients as numbers spike.

“OHSU Health is at pretty high capacity right now, and that’s just for routine care, as well as all the other care coming in. So we are actively having to examine our ability to do more elective work as we anticipate a surge of COVID patients coming into our system, and this is the same across all of the health systems in the region. So it’s obviously very concerning and we’re all preparing,” Dr. David Zonies, M.D., told KOIN 6 News.
