Weekly Report presents snapshot of COVID-19 in Oregon
OHA on Tuesday released its COVID-19 Weekly Report, which presents an in-depth look at the virus in Oregon. This week’s report again contains a summary of the week’s data by an OHA senior health advisor. Also new this week is a table that displays cases by gender and ethnicity.
This week’s report no longer contains a table of underlying conditions of those who have died from COVID-19.
OHA said, "Routinely available information about COVID-19 cases lacks sufficient detail to offer useful information about the specific conditions that make up the broad categories included in the table.
"A more accurate and reliable source of information about underlying medical conditions among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 has become available through COVID-NET, a national surveillance network that collects detailed medical information about hospitalized patients in many states. Oregon is a participant in COVID-NET."
