(KTVZ) -- There are three new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,858, the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday. .

OHA also reported 1,076 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m.

Newest COVID-19 modeling report shows sharply higher increases in daily cases and hospitalizations.

On Friday, OHA released its latest COVID-19 forecast, which projects sharply higher COVID-19 associated hospitalizations and daily cases through Aug.

According to the model, the effective reproduction rate – the expected number of secondary cases that a single case generates – was estimated at 1.58 through July 14, more than double the 0.74 reported through mid-June.

At that same level of transmission, over the next two weeks, daily cases would continue to rapidly increase to 390 cases per 100,000 people, or an estimated 1,170 daily cases and 95 new hospitalizations per day. .

OHA reported Friday that 6,702 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry.

Oregon has now administered 2,656,887 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,784,178 first and second doses of Moderna and 181,017 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

As of Friday, 2,486,197 people have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 2,308,566 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series.

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.

To date, 3,019,095 doses of Pfizer, 2,299,680 doses of Moderna and 299,100 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered to sites across Oregon.

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 298, which is 13 more than Thursday.

Charles Bend reported 22 COVID-19 patients as of early Friday, five of whom were in the ICU, with three on ventilators.

As of Friday, OHA is aware of 58 COVID-19 cases in people who attended the event. .

In Oregon this month, OHA has recorded a large increase in COVID-19 cases.

The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported Friday are in the following counties: Baker (22), Benton (21), Clackamas (77), Clatsop (13), Columbia (6), Coos (15), Crook (7), Curry (12), Deschutes (40), Douglas (57), Grant (1),  Harney (2), Hood River (9), Jackson (188), Jefferson (6), Josephine (33), Klamath (3), Lane (81), Lincoln (9), Linn (29), Malheur (5), Marion (46), Morrow (7), Multnomah (134), Polk (20), Sherman (1), Tillamook (13), Umatilla (82), Union (22), Wallowa (10), Wasco (15), Washington (76), Wheeler (2) and Yamhill (12). .

OHA does not report the vaccination status of people in our daily update of COVID-19 related deaths.

In June, 92% of the 7,241 COVID-19 cases and 94% of the 63 COVID-19-associated deaths occurred in unvaccinated Oregonians!

On the first Thursday of each month, OHA publishes an update on vaccine breakthrough cases identified in Oregon.

The findings shared in our last report, from July 1, indicate that this number remains very small when compared to the more than 2.3 million people who have completed a COVID-19 vaccination series!
