Oregon reports 2 more COVID-19-related deaths, 455 new cases

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

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

Vaccinations in Oregon

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

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 943,692 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,194,495 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to locations throughout Oregon.

These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA panels provide regularly updated vaccination data, and the Oregon panel was updated on Saturday.

COVID-19 Hospitalizations

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

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.

More information about the hospital’s capacity can be found here.
