Oregon Health Authority reported 1,314 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 bringing the state total to 75,431.

It took six months before 25,000 Oregonians became sick with COVID-19 and two months more until we reached 50,000 total COVID-19 infections in Oregon. Most recently, it took three weeks to go from 50,000 cases to 75,000 and this weekend we crossed 900 total deaths,” said OHA Director Patrick Allen.
