A new survey by the Oregon Health Authority shows how Oregonians feel about COVID-19. While most are worried about the coronavirus, there’s a lot of variation in how willing people are to make sacrifices to stay safe.
Over half of all Oregonians rarely meet with friends, and only in small groups. But a small but significant group are going about life as normal. 20% of respondents said they’d gone to gatherings with more than ten people in a 2-week period. OHA spokesperson Robb Cowie says that taken with other results, it paints a grim picture.
COWIE: People who are gathering in groups of ten or more were also the people who expressed skepticism about whether a mask protects you or whether staying 6 feet apart protects you. It’s that nexus there that has caught our attention and raises our concern.
There is some good news: More than 8 in ten Oregonians report wearing masks in indoor public spaces — and six in ten said they stay 6 feet apart in public — The survey also found that the Latino community, which has been hard-hit in Oregon, face more barriers when trying to isolate at home.
