(Update: 4 newly reported deaths from C. Oregon)

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) — There are 25 newly reported COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 5,268, the Oregon Health Authority reported Monday.

Central Oregon health departments said four of the COVID-19 deaths reported Monday were from the region, three from Deschutes County and a Crook County resident.

OHA also reported 2,041 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Monday, bringing the state total to 396,501.

The 25 new deaths and 2,041 new cases reported Monday include data recorded by counties for the three-day period between Dec. 3 and Dec. 5.

The Dec. 2 case counts for Lane County were erroneously high due to a reporting error, OHA said. This error has been corrected, and the case count for Lane County for Dec. 2 has been revised to 95 cases.

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 418, which is 23 more than Sunday. There are 115 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is 12 more than Sunday.

There are 59 available adult ICU beds out of 667 total (9% availability) and 349 available adult non-ICU beds out of 4,113 (8% availability).

The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.

Note: Please do not visit an emergency department for COVID-19 testing, unless you require emergency care for your symptoms.
