1 new death was recorded in Lane County. A 62 year old male from the rural Lane County who passed on 5/4/2020. This individual had multiple preexisting conditions. They initially tested positive for COVID-19 during a screening using a rapid test. A second lab confirmed PCR test was consisted and yielded a negative test result. The individual passed away shortly thereafter and the death was not initially attributed as COVID-19 related due to the negative lab result. Last week, the Oregon Health Authority has assigned this death as COVID-19 related.

Individuals who had contact with these community members will be contacted by Lane County Public Health so they can work with their health care providers on next steps. Communicable disease investigations are underway. If a public contact exposure point is identified, that information will be shared with the public.

* Presumptive cases are people without a positive PCR test who have COVID-19-like symptoms and had close contact with a confirmed case. Though not confirmed by a positive diagnostic test, presumptive cases have a high likelihood of having COVID-19 because of the specific nature of the symptoms and known exposure.
