Weekly Report again expands data on COVID-19 in Oregon
OHA’s Weekly Coronavirus Report has again expanded this week to add data on underlying conditions for the COVID-19 cases that have died. OHA will also now include the number of COVID-19 recovered cases by county.
The report provides demographic data and information on signs and symptoms from all COVID-19 cases in Oregon, the reported risk factors from all COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 cases by sex, age group, race, and ethnicity.
The Weekly Report also includes death totals and rates, and cases and deaths from all care facilities and senior living communities that have three or more confirmed COVID-19 cases or one or more death. You can read the Weekly Report here.
Of the 2,253 surviving COVID-19 cases, 860 (about 38 percent) are considered recovered, meaning they are free of fever without medication, cough, shortness of breath and diarrhea for 72 hours. That includes 66 percent of the Deschutes County cases, the recovered crook county case and 16 percent (one) of the six Jefferson County cases, most recent on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
