Oregon Health Authority posts highest weekly count of coronavirus cases
The Oregon Health
Authority released its
COVID-19 Weekly Report
Thursday, which showed
that during the week of
Monday, Oct. 26, through
Sunday, Nov. 1, OHA re-
corded 3,542 new cases of
COVID-19 infection — up
34 percent from last week’s
tally of 2,642.
This is the second con-
secutive week daily case
counts set a record high
for the pandemic.
The number of newly
tested Oregonians rose to
34,591 and the percent-
age of positive tests rose
sharply to 8.4 percent.
Thirty-seven
Orego-
nians were reported to
have died in association
with COVID-19—com-
pared to 27 the previous
week and 160 were hospi-
talized.
People aged 20 to 49
accounted for the largest
percentage of infection
at 56 percent, despite ac-
counting for 39 percent of
the total population.
Persons younger than 30
accounted for 38 percent
of the cases.
People over age 80 ac-
counted for 50 percent
of COVID-19 associated
deaths and people over 70
accounted for 74 percent
of deaths associated with
the illness.
Schools are not ma-
jor drivers of COVID-19
spread across Oregon.
Cases are appearing at
schools because there is
more community spread.
This week’s report re-
flects the statewide trend
of sharply rising cases,
with 13 schools provid-
ing in-school instruction
that that had at least one
case in a student or staff/
volunteer that attended or
worked during their infec-
tious or exposure period.
The number of reported
cases in Lane County have
decreased over the past
week, however, with the
number of cases averaging
between 22 and 28 cases
per day, compared to as
many as 68 cases the pre-
vious week.
In the 97439 zip code,
the number of cases rose
slightly from 31 in recent
weeks to 34.
As COVID-19 cases
continue to surge in sur-
rounding counties, OHA
reminds people to:
• Wear a face covering
• Keep physically dis-
tant.
• Avoid large gatherings
and restrict gatherings
with people outside of
your household.
• Maintain good hand
hygiene
