June 20, 2021 Contact: OHA External Relations, orcovid19.media@dhsoha.state.or.us Oregon reports 200 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases, 1 new deathPORTLAND, Ore. — There is one new COVID-19-related death in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,754, Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. today. OHA reported 200 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. today, bringing the state total to 206,774. Vaccinations in OregonToday, OHA reported that 10,006 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 5,675 doses were administered on June 19 and 4,331 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on June 19. The seven-day running average is now 12,724 doses per day. Oregon has now administered a total of 2,437,234 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,704,526 first and second doses of Moderna and 162,520 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. As of today, 2,102,735 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series. There are 2,352,425 people who have had at least one dose. 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, 2,921,715 doses of Pfizer, 2,216,660 doses of Moderna and 299,100 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. COVID-19 hospitalizationsThe number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 149, which is five more than yesterday. There are 35 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is four more than yesterday. The total number of COVID-19 positive patient bed-days in the most recent seven days is 1,102, which is an 8.7% decrease from the previous seven days. The peak daily number of beds occupied by COVID-19 positive patients in the most recent seven days is 174. The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
