Oregon reports no new COVID-19 deaths for the first time since Dec. 26

Daily case count of 254 also is the lowest in nearly four months

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- There were no new COVID-19 related deaths reported in Oregon for the first time since Dec. 26, and the state’s death toll remains at 2,137, the Oregon Health Authority reported Sunday.

OHA also reported 254 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday -- the lowest number since Oct. 18 -- bringing the state's total to 150,281.

Vaccinations in Oregon

On Sunday, OHA reported that 7,206 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 4,028 doses were administered on Saturday and 3,178 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Saturday. 

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 677,194 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 885,250 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 Sunday.

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 213, which is three fewer than Saturday. There are 52 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is three more than Saturday.

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.
