Hospitalizations across the state dropped by a dozen compared to Thursday's report. According to the OHA, there are currently 563 COVID-19 patients in the state's hospitals. Of those, there are 136 patients in Intensive Care Unit beds, which is 10 fewer than yesterday.

Also on Friday, officials confirmed that the Oregon National Guard members who were deployed to hospitals across the state earlier this year to help staff cope with surging caseloads are gradually winding down their operations. The decision to pull guard members is made on a case-by-case basis as hospitals determine their individual staffing needs in coordination with the Oregon Health Authority, according to the ONG.
