Oregon reports 253 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases, 0 new deaths

PORTLAND — There are no new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, the state’s death toll remains at 2,375 the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.

Oregon Health Authority reported 253 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday bringing the state total to 163,952.

Vaccinations in Oregon

Sunday, OHA reported that 28,722 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 16,680 doses were administered on March 27 and 12,042 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on March 27.

Oregon has now administered a total of 858,095 first and second doses of Pfizer, 820,414 first and second doses of Moderna and 38,937 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).

To date, 1,043,055 doses of Pfizer, 1,003,700 doses of Moderna and 61,200 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered to sites across Oregon.

These data are preliminary and subject to change.

OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated today.

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 143, which is 25 more than yesterday. There are 32 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is 10 more than yesterday.
