Oregon reports 5 more COVID-19 related deaths, 678 new cases - KTVZ

(KTVZ) -- There are five new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,439, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.

OHA also reported 678 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m.

OHA reported that 50,429 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added Thursday to the state immunization registry.

Of this total, 27,783 doses were administered on Wednesday and 22,646 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Wednesday.

The 50,429 doses submitted to the state’s immunization tracking system on Wednesday was the highest number of COVID-19 vaccine doses entered into the database on a single day since the COVID-19 vaccines began to be administered in Oregon.

As of Thursday, 824,299 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series.

Oregon has now administered a total of 1,083,978 doses of Pfizer, 971,012 doses of Moderna and 61,539 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.

To date, 1,340,235 doses of Pfizer, 1,212,800 doses of Moderna and 185,500 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 168, which is three fewer than Wednesday. There are 38 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is four fewer than Wednesday.

The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times.

Charles Bend reported six COVID-19 patients as of 4 a.m.
