The White House announced plans to buy 1 billion rapid at-home COVID-19 tests to mail out free.

• American households can order tests at COVIDTests.gov.
• Tests will be mailed within 7-12 days.
• To start, each address can receive four tests.

Learn more about the free-test program.

Private insurance now must cover the cost of at-home COVID-19 tests.

• The federal government announced that insurance companies and health plans must cover eight over-the-counter tests a month for each covered person. A family of four could have 32 tests paid for each month.
• The government is adding incentives to let people buy tests online or from a store or pharmacy with no up-front cost or need to file reimbursement claims. It's a good idea to save your receipt in case you need to get reimbursed, though.

• The number of patients in Oregon hospitals has begun a steep increase that’s expected to continue. As of Jan. 13, 777 were in hospitals, 189 more than the week before.
• Case counts and test positivity remain at record levels.
• Oregon has the 11^th highest booster rate, at 28.5% of the population.
• Behavior metrics show sharp reductions in higher-risk activities. The change is faster than expected, and the model has been updated to reflect an accelerated fear cycle.

• As of Jan. 12, 24% of occupied ICU beds had COVID-19 patients in them statewide, up from 17% the week before.
• The hospitalization rate in states where omicron was spreading early is well above the level of Oregon's delta surge.
• While the ICU rate per hospitalization is declining in "early omicron" states, the total number of ICU patients is sharply increasing.
• The number of children in Oregon hospitals with COVID-19 increased briefly to 21 but returned to 13 as of Jan. 12. Oregon has one of the lowest rates of hospitalized children, but there is potential for increase.
• Flu cases remain low.  Forty cases were reported, compared with 1,586 in a similar week two years ago. 

• The forecast shows hospitalizations peaking at 1,653 on Jan. 28. This peak reflects adjustments in behavior, incidental admissions, and a change in the share of patients needing ICU care.
• Hospitalizations have peaked in Denmark and England, and are showing signs of ebbing in East Coast states. If Oregon can keep avoiding higher-risk behaviors for three more weeks, it has potential to flatten the surge.

Patients have the right to refuse COVID-19 testing when seeking emergency care at OHSU. Any patients who come to OHSU with an emergency, including active labor, will receive care regardless of whether they agree to testing. 

When COVID testing is declined, health care personnel base their use of PPE on the assumption that the patient could have COVID-19. Our visitor policy describes when visitors are allowed for patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Surgeries, procedures and appointments: Most services are available. To check on upcoming appointments, you can call your clinic or check MyChart.

Clinical trials: OHSU halted in-person visits for studies that are not medically necessary. Contact your team or principal investigator with questions specific to your study.

Events: Many events have been canceled. You should hear from organizers, or check the event listing.

Tram: The Portland Aerial Tram is open but with restrictions. Learn more and find alternatives.

Transportation and parking: Find detailed updates on OHSU parking, shuttles, badge access, bike valet services, ride sharing and more.

COVID-19 is considered “long COVID-19” when symptoms last longer than 28 days. We  offer a program and team of specialists to help you manage this condition.

Early studies suggested that blood type could affect the risk of getting the coronavirus and becoming seriously ill from it. Newer studies (from New York Presbyterian Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital), though, found little difference. In any case, OHSU is unable to do blood-type tests unless medically necessary.
