PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There are no new deaths related to COVID-19 in Oregon, and the death toll from the state remains at 2,322, the Oregon Health Authority reported on the one-year anniversary of the state’s first COVID death.
OHA also reported 234 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 from 12:01 a.m. Sunday, bringing the state to 159,617.
The commemoration of the first COVID death in Oregon
Sunday marks one year since our first Oregonian was lost to COVID-19. We would like to remember the 2,322 Oregonians who lost their lives and acknowledge the tremendous sadness experienced by their family, friends, colleagues and neighbors. Our thoughts go out to everyone who has experienced a loss of COVID-19.
If you or a loved one is grieving, that’s right. Mental and emotional health resources are available on the Safe + Strong website.
We remember the lives lost to COVID in Oregon and shared sources on grief and loss in a special issue of the Coronavirus Update published on February 28, commemorating the first case in Oregon. Visit this page to sign up.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported that 20,045 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state immunization registry on Sunday. Of this total, 15,530 doses were administered on Saturday and 4,515 on 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 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 1,322,013 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,575,705 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 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 100, which is four less than Saturday. There are 21 COVID-19 patients in intensive care (ICU) beds, two 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.
