A 15th resident at a Linn County veterans’ home has tested positive for coronavirus, the facility announced on Monday night.

According to a Facebook post by the Oregon Veterans’ Home, the resident had previously tested negative for the virus but was retested at the request of the home’s medical director, after the person began showing symptoms of the virus.

The Edward C. Allworth Veterans’ Home in Lebanon has now been linked to at least 16 positive cases of coronavirus, including 15 residents and one employee. One resident, a man in his 90s, died Sunday morning after testing positive for the virus on March 11.

The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday night.

The new positive test brings Oregon’s total count of coronavirus cases so far to 193. There are positive cases in 19 of Oregon’s 36 counties: 69 in Washington County, 30 in Marion, 21 in Multnomah, 21 in Linn, 14 in Clackamas, 10 in Deschutes, six in Yamhill, four each in Lane and Benton, three in Polk, two each in Jackson in Umatilla and one each in Clatsop, Douglas, Grant, Hood River, Josephine, Klamath and Union counties.
