PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – The state’s death toll from COVID-19 remains unchanged at 209, but another 344 new cases were reported, bringing the total to 10,000, the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday.

OHA reported 344 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 am Friday, bringing the state total to 9,636 cases, along with 245,096 negative test results. The daily case count is the second highest in the pandemic, after Thursday’s record 375 new cases.

The new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases reported Friday are in the following counties: Benton (7), Clackamas (22), Clatsop (1), Columbia (3), Coos (1), Crook (1), Deschutes (9), Douglas (1), Jackson (9), Jefferson (5), Josephine (3), Klamath (2), Lake (1), Lane (16), Lincoln (18), Linn (2), Malheur (20)), Marion (32), Morrow (10), Multnomah (59), Polk (5), Sherman (1), Tillamook (1), Umatilla (49), Union (8), Wasco (10) , Washington (46) and Yamhill (1).

The Health Authority also released a table showing recent trends in cases by county between mid-June and early July.

OHA said: “These trends show where the COVID-19 virus is spreading at the fastest rate and which counties have the highest rates of ‘sporadic’ transmission, that is, cases that do not have a clear epidemiological link to other outbreaks or groups of infections and thus indicate that the virus is spreading uncontrollably in a community.

Governor Kate Brown identified eight counties to be included on a “Watch List” based on these data: Jefferson, Lake, Lincoln, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wasco. State and local health officials will closely monitor the situation in these counties in the coming days and will prioritize additional resources to suppress the virus in these hotspot communities.
