27,961 (total individuals tested)

Two new cases were identified through ongoing surveillance testing at Avamere Riverpark, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center located at 425 Alexander Loop in Eugene. Neither individual provides direct patient care. Avamere Riverpark has been working with LCPH since the onset of the outbreak and has been following public health recommendations. 

*We are now inquiring about attendance at large gatherings as part of our disease investigations and will make that information publicly available. To date, none of our confirmed cases have attended large gatherings such as protests, or rallies. We believe that the majority of our new points of transmission are from house parties predominantly associated with end of school year celebrations.

* 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.
