Oregon reports another 1 COVID-19 death, 111 new cases; technological issue slows down

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There is one new COVID-19-related death in Oregon, which increases the state death toll to 2155, along with 111 new cases, the Oregon Health Authority reported Sunday, noting that technical problems are temporarily reducing the number of cases has. .

OHA reported 111 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 from 12:01 a.m. Sunday, bringing the state to 152,818.

Due to a server error, a large number of electronic laboratory results (ELRs) were not processed on Saturday, the agency said. As a result, Sunday and ELR totals are lower than usual, and the total for Monday is expected to be higher than usual. The backlog of ELRs is currently being processed.

Vaccinations in Oregon

OHA reported that 21202 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state immunization registry on Sunday. Of this total, 17,894 doses were administered on Saturday and 3,308 were administered previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry on Saturday.

It can take a few days to complete the total daily totals, as suppliers have 72 hours to report doses and technical challenges have caused many suppliers to lag behind in their reporting. OHA has provided 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 802,404 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 924,575 doses of vaccine have been delivered to Oregon sites.

These data are provisional and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards contain regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard was updated Sunday.

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 166, which is three more than Saturday. There are 44 COVID-19 patients in intensive care (ICU) beds, which is seven less than on Saturday.

The total number of patients in hospital beds may vary between check-in times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the duration of the hospital. Staff restrictions are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
