Gov. Kate Brown says the state’s COVID-19 testing capacity is expanding to 80,000 tests per week. Coronavirus cases in Oregon have been climbing during the past few weeks. Health officials said that with Oregon’s jump in testing capacity, they recommend people who have symptoms of COVID-19 not only be tested but also people who have been in close contact with an infected person, regardless of whether they show symptoms. The rapid antigen tests, which are being provided by the federal government each week through the end of 2020, can diagnose COVID-19 in 15 minutes.
