NC reports first case of highly-contagious COVID-19 variant :: WRAL.com
Raleigh, N.C. — The first case of the highly-contagious COVID-19 variant has been confirmed in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services identified the first case of the variant in an adult in Mecklenburg County.
The COVID variant, called B.1.1.7., was first detected in the UK in December.
According to officials, 195 cases of the COVID variant have been reported in 21 states as of Jan. 22.
“Early data suggest that this variant may be more contagious than other variants,” said NCDHHS in a statement.
Current COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be effective against the new variant, according to officials.
“While expected, identification of this COVID-19 variant in North Carolina is concerning, especially at the same time as we are already seeing very high numbers of cases,” said Mandy Cohen, NCDHHS Secretary.
“It is more important than ever to practice the 3Ws,” she said.
Wash hands. Wear a mask. Wait 6 feet apart.
State health officials advise people to stay home except for essential activities and avoid gathering, especially indoors, with people who do not live with you.
If you absolutely must travel or be with people you do not live with, get tested in advance, keep it small and outdoors and always wear a mask.
And, of course, get an appointment for a vaccine when one becomes available to you.

Oregon reports 22 more COVID-19 deaths, one from Deschutes; 877 new cases
(Update: Details of newly reported deaths released)
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTZ) — There are 22 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, including Deschutes County’s 40th death, raising the state’s death toll to 1,865, the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday.
OHA also reported 877 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Friday, bringing the state total to 136,839.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Friday, OHA reported that 16,763 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 12,341 vaccine doses were administered on Thursday and 4,422 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Thursday.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 270,453 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 487,700 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
St. Charles Health System said it had given 8,942 COVID-19 vaccinations as of 4 a.m. Friday.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data and Oregon’s dashboard has been updatedFriday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 317, which is 12 fewer than Thursday. There are 79 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is eight fewer than Thursday.
St. Charles Bend reported 18 COVID-19 patients as of 4 a.m. Friday, with two in the ICU, one on a ventilator.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
More information about hospital capacity can be found here.
New quarantine guidelines for fully immunized people
People who have been fully immunized and have let at least 14 days pass following their last dose of the vaccine are no longer required to quarantine if they have had close contact with someone with COVID-19. Those who are fully immunized should still monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 during the 14 days after exposure, and if symptoms develop, they should isolate and seek testing. Persons who have been fully vaccinated should continue to follow measures to protect themselves and others, including maintaining six feet of physical distance, avoiding crowds, washing hands often and wearing a mask. Please see OHA’s updated COVID-19 Investigative Guidelines.

Reports: Bears promoting Sean Desai to defensive coordinator
Chicago has found its replacement for the retired Chuck Pagano.
The Bears will promote safeties coach Sean Desai to defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.
Desai has been with the Bears since 2013 when he started out as a quality control assistant, working with Chicago’s defensive backs and linebackers. He also assisted the special teams coaches.
He was promoted to safeties coach for the 2019 season. He is believed to be the first coordinator of Indian descent in the NFL.
Pagano retired after the 2020 season following two years as the Bears’ defensive coordinator.
