State reports 4,701 cases over weekend; hospitalization hits 937 statewide, record 66 in Bend (record 15 in ICU)
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- There were 24 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon over the weekend, including Deschutes County's 90th death, raising the state’s death toll to 3,036, along with record hospitalization numbers statewide and at St. Charles Bend, the Oregon Health Authority reported Monday.
OHA reported 4,701 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Monday, bringing the state total to 257,644.
The 4,701 cases reported Monday include new infections recorded by counties for the 3-day period between Friday, Aug. 20, and Sunday, Aug. 22.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported Monday that 4,491 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 672 were initial doses and 363 were second doses administered on Sunday. The remaining 3,367 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Sunday.
The seven-day running average is now 7,203 doses per day.
Oregon has now administered 2,761,952 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,826,742 first and second doses of Moderna and 194,128 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.
As of Monday, 2,587,552 people have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 2,373,947 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series.
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).
These data are preliminary and subject to change.
Updated vaccination data are provided on Oregon’s COVID-19 data dashboards and have been updated Monday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 937, which is 37 more than Sunday. There are 253 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is 22 more than yesterday.
As of Monday morning, there are 47 available adult ICU beds out of 657 total (7% availability) and 349 available adult non-ICU beds out of 4,172 (8% availability).
St. Charles Bend reported a record 66 COVID-19 patients as of early Monday morning, 15 of whom were in the ICU -- also a record, with 14 on ventilators.
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.
Note: Please do not visit an emergency department for COVID-19 testing, unless you require emergency care for your symptoms. Emergency departments in Oregon are under significant strain responding to the current surge in COVID-19. You can find a test here.
If you have a medical condition that doesn’t require emergency care, an urgent care center will help you get the care you need and will save emergency departments from added strain.
