The Oregon Health Authority on Monday reported no new cases of the novel coronavirus, keeping the number of COVID-19 patients in the state to 14, as cases continued to surge elsewhere in the U.S. and around the world.

Sixty-five more people in Oregon have tested negative for the virus in the last 24 hours, while another 52 are awaiting results, according to figures published to the authority’s website. To date, officials have tested 231 people in Oregon.

State health officials also began monitoring an additional 24 Oregonians for symptoms of COVID-19, bringing the total number of people being actively monitored to 226.

The updated figures come one day after the number of presumptive positive cases in Oregon doubled and Gov. Kate Brown declared a state of emergency to bring additional resources to the state’s response.

Eight of Oregon’s coronavirus patients are in Washington County, including a student who attends South Meadows Middle School in Hillsboro.

Health officials have also reported cases in five other counties: Douglas (one), Jackson (two), Klamath (one), Marion (one) and Umatilla (one).

Five of the 14 people who tested positive for COVID-19 in Oregon have been hospitalized. Half of those with confirmed cases are age 55 and or over, while another five patients are between the ages of 35 and 54. Two of them are under the age of 25.

No Oregon deaths have so far been linked to the coronavirus.

Nationwide, almost 600 Americans have tested positive for COVID-19 while the number of deaths rose to at least 22, including 19 in Washington state. COVID-19 cases have been identified in at least 34 states as well as Washington, D.C.

Around the world, more than 110,000 cases and 3,800 deaths have been reported.
