Oregon reports 12 more COVID-19 related deaths, 2 in C.O.; 621 new cases

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) --  There are 12 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, two of them in Central Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,056, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.

OHA also reported 621 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Thursday, bringing the state total to 149,082.

Vaccinations in Oregon

OHA reported that 19,695 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added Thursday to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 14,004 doses were administered on Wednesday and 5,619 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Wednesday.

Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).

Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 623,909 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 884,175 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.

These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA's dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated Thursday.

St. Charles Health System reported 22,704 COVID-19 vaccinations given as of early Thursday.

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 209, which is two fewer than Wednesday. There are 50 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is three fewer than Wednesday.

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.

St. Charles Bend reported 15 COVID-19 patients as of 4 a.m. Thursday, four of whom were in the ICU, all on ventilators.

COVID-19 variant tracking

OHA is now reporting the number of people in Oregon with confirmed variant strains of the virus that causes COVID-19 on Oregon’s COVID-19 Update dashboard. New variant cases will be reported via this dashboard Monday through Friday.

New SARS-CoV-2 variants have been documented in the United States and globally during this pandemic, and information about the characteristics of these variants is rapidly emerging.

Viruses constantly change through mutation, and new variants of a virus are expected to occur over time. Most variants do not change how the virus behaves and many disappear. 

OHA continues to monitor variants that are being identified and will provide updates.
