Deschutes County reports 70 new cases, Crook County 8, Jefferson County 1
PORTLAND, Oregon. (KTVZ) – There are 22 new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, increasing the death toll in the state to 1,904, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Tuesday.
The OHA also reported 796 new confirmed and presumed cases of COVID-19 at 0:01 AM on Tuesday, bringing the state total to 139,355.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Tuesday, OHA reported that 17,422 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state’s immunization registry. Of that total, 10,178 doses were administered on Monday and 7,244 on previous days, but entered the vaccine register on Monday.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to complete because providers have 72 hours to report administered doses and technical challenges have caused many providers to delay reporting. OHA has 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 administered a cumulative total of 325,473 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service agencies (EMS), urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 589,200 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to locations across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and are subject to change.
The St. Charles Health System reported that 12,502 COVID-19 vaccinations were given as of 4 am Tuesday.
OHA panels provide regularly updated vaccination data and the Oregon panel was updated on Tuesday.
COVID-19 Hospitalizations
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 across Oregon is 308, 12 less than on Monday. There are 70 patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is five fewer than on Monday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds can fluctuate between reporting times. The figures do not reflect hospitalizations per day, nor the length of stay. Personnel limitations are not captured in this data and can further limit the capacity of beds.
St. Charles Bend reported 19 patients with COVID-19 by 4 am Tuesday, one of whom was in the ICU and on a ventilator.
