PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The number of new coronavirus cases in Oregon rose on Sunday to 332, the Oregon Health Authority said. Meanwhile, two more people with COVID-19 died, bringing the state’s death toll to 234, the agency said. The latest deaths were an 86-year-old woman in Malheur County with underlying conditions and a 93-year-old woman in Washington County, whose medical history is being reviewed.
Oregon has had 11, 454 cases since the pandemic began. The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected without feeling sick.
Hood River County had one case reported Sunday and now has a total of 105 positives during the pandemic. Wasco County also had one additional case Sunday, pushing the total to 117. Sherman County had one new case and is up to 5 in total. In Washington, Klickitat County is now at 78 cases during the pandemic and Skamania County has had 23 cases so far.
