PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – There are no new COVID-19 deaths in Oregon and the state’s death toll remains at 2,385, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Friday.
The OHA also reported 499 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of midnight 01 Friday, bringing the state total to 166,013.
Here are the slides, a link to the recording, and a link to talking points from Friday morning’s press conference by Governor Kate Brown and the OHA.
Vaccinations in Oregon
The OHA reported that 46,154 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine were added to the state’s immunization registry on Friday. Of this total, 29,325 doses were administered Thursday and 16,829 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry Thursday.
Oregon has now administered a total of 962,741 first and second doses of Pfizer, 890,157 first and second doses of Moderna, and 45,256 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.
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).
To date, 1,203,345 doses of Pfizer, 1,102,200 doses of Moderna and 101,300 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 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 Friday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 157, two more than Thursday. There are 42 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, three more than Thursday.
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 COVID-19 model launched
The OHA released its latest COVID-19 forecast on Friday, which showed higher transmission of the virus through mid-March.
According to the model, the effective reproduction rate – the expected number of secondary cases generated by a single case – was estimated at 1.12 until March 17.
At this level of transmission, the daily cases for the two-week period between April 7 and April 20 would increase to 130 per 100,000 people, resulting in an estimated average of 390 daily cases and 17 new daily hospitalizations.
If transmission increases by 20% over the same period, new cases would reach 195 per 100,000, an estimated average of 585 daily cases, with 27 additional daily hospitalizations.
If transmission declines by 20%, new cases will drop to 86 per 100,000 and daily cases will drop to an average of 260 daily cases, with a corresponding drop in daily hospitalizations to 11.
As access to the vaccine gradually grows across the state, projections of the spread of the virus underscore the importance of continuing to practice preventative measures that can slow the spread of the disease.
- Maintain a physical distance.
- Wear a face mask or face mask.
- Avoid gatherings with non-household members.
- Practice good hand hygiene.
