One shy of record count on June 16; new death reported, for total of 202
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- COVID-19 has claimed one more life in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 202, along with a near-record 277 new cases, pushing the total past 8,000, the Oregon Health Authority reported Saturday.
Oregon Health Authority reported 277 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, bringing the state total to 8,094 cases, along with 219,529 negative results.
The 277 cases is one shy of the daily record 278 cases reported on June 16. There have been 1,349 cases in the past week, according to HA figures
The new cases reported Saturday are in the following counties: Benton (2), Clackamas (16), Columbia (1), Coos (1), Crook (1), Deschutes (3), Jefferson (3), Josephine (2), Lake (1), Lane (14), Lincoln (2), Linn (4), Malheur (12), Marion (32), Morrow (5), Multnomah (59), Polk (2), Umatilla (56), Union (11), Wasco (2), Washington (44), Yamhill (4).
See table below for total cases, deaths and negative tests by county.
Oregon’s 202nd COVID-19 death is an 84-year-old man in Multnomah County who became symptomatic on June 21, after close contact with a confirmed case, and died on June 22. His place of death is being confirmed. He had underlying medical conditions.
Correction: On Friday, OHA erroneously reported that Oregon’s 202nd COVID-19 death was a woman who tested positive on June 22. We regret the error. The total number of COVID-19 deaths in Oregon is 202.
Note:
- One case previously reported in Jackson County was determined to not to be a case; county case counts have been adjusted to reflect this change.
