PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There are ten new deaths associated with COVID-19 in Oregon, including two in Central Oregon, which increases the death toll from the state to 2,204, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.
OHA also reported 553 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 from 12:01 a.m. Thursday, bringing the state to 154,554.
The new deaths include Deschutes County’s 59th since the pandemic began, and Jefferson County’s 28th.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported that 22,841 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state immunization registry on Thursday. Of this total, 15,684 doses were administered on Wednesday and 7,157 were administered previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry on Wednesday.
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 assistance 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 881,206 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1170,595 doses of vaccine have been delivered to Oregon sites.
The Charles health system reported 23,416 COVID-19 vaccinations as of early Thursday.
These data are provisional and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards contain regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard was updated Thursday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 156, which is six less than Wednesday. There are 38 COVID-19 patients in intensive care (ICU) beds, which is eight less than Wednesday.
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 constraints are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
St. Charles Bend reported 12 COVID-19 patients at 4 a.m. Thursday, including one who was in the ICU and was in a ventilator.
