More cases at Newport seafood facility; new outbreak in Washington County
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) — The state’s death toll from COVID-19 is unchanged from Sunday and remains at 164, but there were 114 new cases added Monday by the Oregon Health Authority, largely an increases in cases from an outbreak at a coastal seafood processor.
OHA reported 114 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Monday, bringing the state total to 4,922 cases, along with 144,957 negative test results.

The high number in Lincoln County is related to an outbreak at Pacific Seafood in Newport. The company reported Sunday that testing found 124 workers and local contractors had COVID-19. OHA said outbreak totals will be reported in Wednesday’s COVID-19 Weekly Report.
