PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- COVID-19 has claimed 11 more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 368, along with 302 new cases, 12 in Central Oregon, the Oregon Health Authority reported Tuesday. It noted several of the deaths occurred months ago and were added due to data reconciliation.

OHA reported 302 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, bringing the state total to 21,774 cases, along with 435,314 negative test results.

The new cases are in the following counties: Benton (3), Clackamas (23), Clatsop (4), Columbia (5), Crook (1), Curry (2), Deschutes (5), Douglas (5), Hood River (8), Jackson (12), Jefferson (6), Josephine (9), Klamath (3), Lane (6), Lincoln (2), Linn (12), Malheur (19), Marion (42), Morrow (6), Multnomah (60), Polk (5), Umatilla (16), Union (1), Wasco (2), Washington (41), and Yamhill (4).

St. Charles Health System reported it had eight COVID-19 patients as of 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, two of them in the ICU on ventilators.

Note: OHA receives death certificate information from the Office of Vital Statistics. Epidemiologists review death certificate information for Oregonians that have COVID-19 listed as a main cause of death or a contributing cause of death. When a death is reported to a county, the county may not always have the cause of death, and this death would not be counted as a COVID-19-related death. During data reconciliation by OHA, additional COVID-19-related deaths may be found and reported. The deaths reported Tuesday include eight deaths that were identified during this review process.
