On March 8, 2020, Gov. Kate Brown declared a state of emergency to address the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) serves as the lead agency for the public health response.
To slow the spread of COVID-19, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order that Oregonians stay home except for essential needs. Health officials urge social or physical distancing, good hand hygiene and covering coughs.
For general information on COVID-19 in Oregon, call 211. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

†County of residence for cases may change as new information becomes available. If changes occur, we will update our counts accordingly.
*For additional details on individuals who have died from COVID-19 in Oregon, please refer to our press releases.
‡Ever hospitalized, if available, as reported to Orpheus. Orpheus is the state of Oregon’s electronic disease surveillance system for reportable diseases. Cases are considered hospitalized if they were ever admitted to the hospital for inpatient care during the their COVID-19 illness. Cases who were examined in but not admitted to a hospital may be incorrectly classified as hospitalized until interview and medical record review are complete, leading to fluctuations in the number of hospitalized COVID-19 cases.
⸸ Every hospital in Oregon is asked to submit data twice daily to Oregon’s Hospital Capacity Web System (HOSCAP). Hospital staff are asked to enter bed capacity information, by type, as well as the numbers of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 illness who are currently hospitalized at the time of data entry. These data may conflict with hospitalization status in Orpheus due to case reporting and investigation lags and temporary discrepancies in case classification.
Notes:
- Because community transmission is occurring in Oregon and recommendations on social or physical distancing are in place, as of March 17, 2020, we no longer report daily counts of persons under monitoring.
- Confirmation by CDC of laboratory results from the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory is no longer required; therefore as of March 15, 2020, we no longer note the number of CDC-confirmed cases.
- Reporting of travel history is not available for cases reported to OHA by commercial laboratories; therefore as of March 15, 2020, we no longer include information about travel history.
- As of March 26, 2020, OHA is releasing a COVID-19 Daily Update (formerly called the Situational Status Report) which is produced jointly with Oregon Office of Emergency Management. It details the overall picture of the COVID-19 response across government agencies.
- Previous updates are posted on OHA's COVID-19 News page.
| Updated daily. | |
|---|---|
| Specimens received at OSPHL on 4/9/2020 | 60 |
| Test results released by OSPHL on 4/9/2020 | 44 |
| Specimens pending at OSPHL as of 8:00 p.m. 4/9/2020 | 17 |
| Total persons tested for COVID-19 at OSPHL since 2/28/2020 | 3,006 |
| Total persons tested at other laboratories | 24,218 |
| Total persons tested | 27,224 |
Notes:
- As of March 25, 2020, we are including the number of pending test results available from the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory (OSPHL). The OSPHL serves as the first source of testing during an outbreak and as commercial labs come online, OSPHL increases focus on priority testing. Commercial labs have the ability to conduct testing on an industrial scale, but do not report pending results, therefore we only include pending results from OSPHL.

Spread facts, not fear.
Oregon is seeing an increase in incidents of discrimination and harassment related to the COVID-19 virus. It is important that all people, businesses, and other organizations act on facts, not bias or xenophobia. Health officials confirm there are no links between COVID-19 infection and a person’s race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ability, or national origin. COVID-19 can infect anyone who is exposed to it, and anyone can spread COVID-19.

On Wednesday, April 8, Governor Brown announced that Oregon’s K-12 schools will remain physically closed through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. School, and learning, will continue using remote means.
OHA knows we are asking a lot of Oregonians in order to protect those who are particularly vulnerable to this virus, and there is a lot of fear and anxiety in our communities. Educators are the heart of our schools, which in turn are the heart of our communities. In the wake of COVID-19’s arrival in Oregon, our schools are facing operational and business challenges.
We stand with the governor and our education partners as they work to support students and their families.
