In early 2020, looking at the HRSA COVID-19 Survey, we see that health centers had over 50% of visits happening virtually in Region X, with up to 65% virtual visits in Oregon. As lockdowns restrictions eased, we saw the percentage of virtual visits reduce, with more people going into the clinics for visits. The end of October saw an increase in restrictions due to increases in numbers of cases. You can see this reflected in the uptick of virtual visits. This coming week, three of our four states will be implementing new lockdown restrictions, while Idaho implemented newer restrictions on Oct 26th. We will continue to publish information as it becomes available.
