Oregon reports no new COVID-19-related deaths; 761 new cases, most in two months

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There are no new deaths related to COVID-19 in Oregon, and the death toll from the state remains at 2,440, the Oregon Health Authority reported Saturday.

But OHA reported 761 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of 00:01 Saturday, bringing the state to 170,085. This is the highest number of one-day cases in Oregon since Feb. 1, when 964 cases were reported.

Vaccinations in Oregon

OHA reported that 54,790 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state immunization registry on Saturday. Of this total, 30,068 doses were administered on Friday and 24,722 on previous days, but were entered in the vaccine register on Friday.

The current average of seven days is now 37,239 doses per day.

Oregon has now administered a total of 1,133,331 doses of Pfizer, 1,012,176 doses of Moderna and 72,833 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

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).

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

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 170, which is 12 more than Friday. There are 46 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is 7 more than Friday.

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 laid down in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
