What Are COVID-19 and RSV?

COVID-19
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads primarily via airborne droplets and aerosols and can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. People at higher risk include older adults, those with chronic health conditions, and people with weakened immune systems. Early treatment with antivirals, such as Paxlovid, can reduce risk of hospitalization.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
RSV is a seasonal respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in infants, older adults, and people with chronic lung or heart conditions. It is a common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children and circulates primarily in fall and winter months.

RSV Resources:

• Surveillance and Monitoring: Activity levels tracked by OHA.
  Link: RSV Surveillance Data
  Phone: 971-673-1222 / 1-800-422-6012

Oregon COVID-19 & RSV Information

Updated September 27, 2025

This page provides up-to-date information on COVID-19 and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) in Oregon, based on Oregon Health Authority (OHA) data. Readers will find current activity levels, public health updates, and guidance for protecting themselves and their families. The page also lists free or low-cost COVID-19 testing options, home test resources, antiviral treatment programs (including Paxlovid), and telehealth services available to Oregon residents. Each listing includes eligibility requirements, contact numbers, and official links so users can verify the details directly.

Note: While this page covers COVID-19 tests, treatments, and supplies, there are currently no free or subsidized RSV tests or medications widely available to the general public. RSV management is primarily clinical and preventive for high-risk populations.

What Are COVID-19 and RSV?

COVID-19
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads primarily via airborne droplets and aerosols and can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. People at higher risk include older adults, those with chronic health conditions, and people with weakened immune systems. Early treatment with antivirals, such as Paxlovid, can reduce risk of hospitalization.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
RSV is a seasonal respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in infants, older adults, and people with chronic lung or heart conditions. It is a common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children and circulates primarily in fall and winter months.

RSV Resources:

• Surveillance and Monitoring: Activity levels tracked by OHA.
  Link: RSV Surveillance Data
  Phone: 971-673-1222 / 1-800-422-6012
• Clinical Care: RSV is typically managed with supportive care at clinics or hospitals.
  Contact: Local primary care providers, urgent care, or hospital pediatric/geriatrics departments.
  OHA COVID & Respiratory Hotline (general info): 971-673-1222
• Prevention for High-Risk Infants: Palivizumab (Synagis) is available through pediatric care for eligible infants; it is not widely available for adults or general public.
  Link: Palivizumab Guidance
  Phone: Consult your child’s pediatrician or local OHA immunization program: 971-673-0300
• Preventive Measures: Frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and masking in high-risk settings.
  Additional Guidance: OHA RSV Prevention

Current Oregon Status — September 27, 2025

COVID-19:
OHA reports COVID-19 activity is moderate statewide, with wastewater monitoring showing elevated viral activity in some counties. Hospitalizations have stabilized, and deaths remain lower than during past seasonal peaks.

Getting Help in a Disaster or Emergency

Natural disasters can strike with little or no warning, and Medicare offers resources to help people get the care they need if an emergency is declared and evacuation becomes necessary. This posting outlines how to access prescriptions, doctors, and critical equipment during a declared emergency.

Getting Care

Original Medicare members can see any doctor who accepts Medicare, while Medicare Advantage members should contact their plan about temporary access options. The following resources outline what to do for prescriptions, doctor visits, and critical care during a declared emergency.

Date(s): Available year-round; applies whenever a federal, state, or local emergency or disaster is declared

Prescription Drugs

You can transfer most prescriptions to another in-network pharmacy during an emergency, then return to your regular pharmacy afterward. If you need an out-of-network pharmacy, contact your Medicare drug plan.

Seeing a Doctor

Oregon COVID-19 & RSV Information

Updated September 27, 2025

This page provides up-to-date information on COVID-19 and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) in Oregon, based on Oregon Health Authority (OHA) data. Readers will find current activity levels, public health updates, and guidance for protecting themselves and their families. The page also lists free or low-cost COVID-19 testing options, home test resources, antiviral treatment programs (including Paxlovid), and telehealth services available to Oregon residents. Each listing includes eligibility requirements, contact numbers, and official links so users can verify the details directly.

Note: While this page covers COVID-19 tests, treatments, and supplies, there are currently no free or subsidized RSV tests or medications widely available to the general public. RSV management is primarily clinical and preventive for high-risk populations.

What Are COVID-19 and RSV?

COVID-19
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads primarily via airborne droplets and aerosols and can cause mild to severe respiratory illness. People at higher risk include older adults, those with chronic health conditions, and people with weakened immune systems. Early treatment with antivirals, such as Paxlovid, can reduce risk of hospitalization.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
RSV is a seasonal respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in infants, older adults, and people with chronic lung or heart conditions. It is a common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children and circulates primarily in fall and winter months.

RSV Resources:

• Surveillance and Monitoring: Activity levels tracked by OHA.
  Link: RSV Surveillance Data
  Phone: 971-673-1222 / 1-800-422-6012
• Clinical Care: RSV is typically managed with supportive care at clinics or hospitals.
  Contact: Local primary care providers, urgent care, or hospital pediatric/geriatrics departments.
  OHA COVID & Respiratory Hotline (general info): 971-673-1222
• Prevention for High-Risk Infants: Palivizumab (Synagis) is available through pediatric care for eligible infants; it is not widely available for adults or general public.
  Link: Palivizumab Guidance
  Phone: Consult your child’s pediatrician or local OHA immunization program: 971-673-0300
• Preventive Measures: Frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and masking in high-risk settings.
  Additional Guidance: OHA RSV Prevention

Current Oregon Status — September 27, 2025

COVID-19:
OHA reports COVID-19 activity is moderate statewide, with wastewater monitoring showing elevated viral activity in some counties. Hospitalizations have stabilized, and deaths remain lower than during past seasonal peaks.
State Dashboard: https://www.oregon.gov/oha/covid19/pages/index.aspx

RSV:
RSV activity is currently low, with no widespread outbreaks reported.
