Four More Deaths From COVID-19 in Oregon

The pandemic continues while most Oregonians stay unaffected.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Four more deaths due to COVID-19 were reported in Oregon as of 8 a.m. today, as well as 55 new confirmed COVID-19 cases and 4 new presumptive cases.

Today's numbers raise the state’s death toll to 134, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

Oregon Health Authority reported 55 new confirmed cases and 4 new presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 8 a.m. today bringing the state total to 3,416.

Note: During routine data reconciliation, a presumptive case originally reported as a Deschutes County case was later determined not to be a case. It was subtracted from Tuesday’s state total, and the number of cases in Deschutes County was reduced by one to reflect this change.
