PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon Health Authority (OHA) reported 2,293 new presumptive and positive COVID-19 cases and 12 additional deaths in its daily report on Monday, which encompasses the numbers reported over the weekend.
OHA reported 961 cases on Oct. 22, 509 cases on Oct. 23 and 823 cases on Oct. 24.
The latest data brings the state’s total number of reported infections to 359,733 and the state’s death toll to 4,295.
OHA also reported that the database it uses to track COVID cases, Opera, was down from 6 p.m. on Oct. 22 – 9 p.m. on Oct. 23. Case counts on Oct. 22-23 are lower than expected and may lead to higher than expected case numbers reported on Tuesday.
Opera had a separate issue just last week that was part of a technical issue that made approximately 550 COVID-related deaths go unreported.

OHA quarterly report
OHA has published a new quarterly report on the age-adjusted rate ratio of COVID cases, hospitalizations and death by race. It found that minority groups including Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian, Latinx, Black and American Indian/Alaska Native communities have experienced disproportionate rates of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths. The inequities were more pronounced at the beginning of the pandemic, the report indicates, and have closed slightly as the pandemic has gone on. However, they still remain.
