Oregon reports 6 more COVID-19 related deaths, 476 new cases

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- There are six new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,391 the Oregon Health Authority reported Saturday.

OHA also reported 476 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, bringing the state total to 166,480.

Vaccinations in Oregon

OHA reported that 44,782 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added Saturday to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 28,479 doses were administered on Friday and 16,303 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Friday.

Oregon has now administered a total of 983,921 first and second doses of Pfizer, 911,515 first and second doses of Moderna and 47,048 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

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).

To date, 1,225,575 doses of Pfizer, 1,102,200 doses of Moderna and 105,800 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines 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 Saturday.

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 153, which is four fewer than Friday. There are 44 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is two more than Friday.

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.
