A case reported Sunday as a Yamhill County case was later determined to be a Washington County case. The total number of new cases in Washington County is 12 to reflect this change. However, the case that moved from Yamhill County to Washington County is not reflected in the total of new cases statewide for Monday, the OHA said.
The State Emergency Coordination Center also has begun distributing daily updates of combined information, including hospital capacity and PPE supply inventory.
New dashboard to help visualize COVID-19 data in Oregon
OHA today unveiled a new dashboard to help visualize COVID-19 data and trends in Oregon. The two graphs show Oregon’s epidemiological curve and the number of Oregonians who have been tested for COVID-19.
These data are provisional. Our team of epidemiologists continues to review and verify data, so our reported numbers will change. As we get more information, we update the data from previous days.
You can find a link to our data dashboard on OHA’s main COVID-19 web page at http://healthoregon.org/coronavirus.
Watch this video for an overview of the dashboard.
