PORTLAND, Oregon (KTZ) – There are 22 new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 1,865, the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday.
The OHA also reported 877 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of midnight 01 Friday, bringing the state total to 136,839.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Friday, the OHA reported that 16,763 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of this total, 12,341 doses of vaccine were administered Thursday and 4,422 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry Thursday.
It may take several days for the cumulative daily totals to be finalized as 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 270,453 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by hospitals in Oregon, long-term care facilities, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, emergency care facilities, and local public health authorities (LPHA ).
To date, 487,700 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
The Saint-Charles Health System said it had administered 8,942 COVID-19 vaccinations as of 4 a.m. on Friday.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. The OHA dashboards provide regularly updated immunization data and the Oregon dashboard was updated on Friday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Oregon is 317, down 12 from Thursday. There are 79 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, eight fewer than Thursday.
St. Charles Bend reported 18 COVID-19 patients as of 4 a.m. Friday, including two in intensive care, one on a ventilator.
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.

New quarantine guidelines for fully vaccinated people
People who have been fully immunized and have allowed at least 14 days to pass after their last dose of the vaccine are no longer required to quarantine if they have had close contact with someone with COVID-19. Those who are fully immunized should still monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days after exposure, and if symptoms develop, they should self-isolate and get tested. People who have been fully immunized should continue to follow measures to protect themselves and others, including maintaining a physical distance of six feet, avoiding crowds, washing their hands often, and wearing a mask. Please review the updated OHA COVID-19 investigation guidelines.
