PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon Health Authority reported 1,599 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19, bringing the state total to 74,120. COVID-19 has claimed nine more lives in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 905.
As we hit this somber milestone of 900 deaths in Oregon, we want to express our deepest sympathies to all the families that have lost a loved one to this virus. We must honor them by redoubling our efforts to protect one another: Wear a mask, limit social gatherings, keep 6 feet between you and other people who don’t live in your home, and wash hands often.
