COVID Cases Up As Expected As Testing Increases

The Oregon Health Authority reported 98 new cases of COVID-19 today, bringing the state total to 414.  OHA senior health advisor Dawn Mautner said the number of confirmed cases is rising, but said that was expected, and increased testing is a big reason why.  She added the key numbers are hospitalizations.  Statistics from the OHA today showed 102 of the confirmed cases have required hospitalization, but 94 of the 414 had not reported whether hospitalization was required or not.  31 of the patients are on a ventilator, and the state has 715 available.  The 12th COVID-19 death in Oregon was reported, an 82-year-old woman in Marion County with underlying medical conditions.  Washington has reported 3,207 cases, with 147 deaths.
