Oregon Reports 2 More COVID-19 Deaths, 455 New Cases

PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – There are two new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 2,208, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Saturday.

The OHA also reported 455 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of 12:01 am Saturday, bringing the state total to 155,315.

Vaccinations in Oregon

The OHA reported that 32,288 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine were added to the state’s immunization registry on Saturday. Of this total, 24,926 doses were administered on Friday and 7,362 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry on Friday.

It may take several days for the cumulative daily totals to be finalized because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical issues have caused many providers to be late in reporting. The OHA provided 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 943,692 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,194,495 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.

These data are preliminary and subject to change. The OHA dashboards provide regularly updated immunization data, and the Oregon dashboard was updated on Saturday.

COVID-19 hospitalizations

The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 148, four fewer than Friday. There are 31 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, three fewer than on Friday.

The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between reporting times. Figures do not reflect admissions per day or length of hospital stay. Staff limitations are not taken into account in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
