Oregon state and county health officials on Tuesday reported three new coronavirus deaths, bringing the state’s death toll to eight, as the number of confirmed COVID-19 patients climbed by 22 to 213.

The latest people to die from the illness are a 78-year-old Clackamas County man, a 63-year-old Multnomah County man and a 90-year-old Washington County woman, state health officials said.

The Clackamas County resident had tested positive for the virus March 15 and died Sunday at the Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center in Clackamas, the health authority said. The Multnomah County resident died Monday after testing positive a week before and was never hospitalized.

Health officials declined to release any other information about them, as has been their practice on coronavirus patients since the beginning of the state outbreak.

The Washington County woman, Marcia Haug, was a resident of Regency Park, an assisted living and memory care facility west of Portland, her daughter Cindy Madden confirmed. At least five people have been infected at the facility, Regency Park officials have said.

Haug died Monday at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland after testing positive for the virus four days earlier, the Oregon Health Authority said.

All three patients had underlying medical conditions, according to state health officials.

Additionally, residents from Clackamas (3), Clatsop (1), Jackson (1), Marion (2), Multnomah (4) and Washington (7) counties tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hours, the health authority said.

Health officials in Douglas, Lane and Lincoln counties separately announced new COVID-19 cases Tuesday.

Douglas County officials said two additional people had tested positive for coronavirus, but declined to provide any additional details. The Lane County resident is a woman in her 40s from the Eugene-Springfield area who is medically stable and recovering at home, health officials said. Lincoln County’s first COVID-19 patient is over the age of 55 and hospitalized.

There are now known coronavirus cases linked to 20 of Oregon’s 36 counties: 76 in Washington County; 32 in Marion County; 25 in Multnomah County; 20 in Linn County; 17 in Clackamas County; 10 in Deschutes County; six in Yamhill County; five in Lane County; four in Benton county; three in Douglas, Jackson and Polk counties; two in Umatilla County; one each in Clatsop, Grant, Hood River, Josephine, Klamath, Lincoln and Union counties.

People older than 55 account for 109 of the confirmed cases in Oregon, 72 are between 35 and 54, 18 are between 25 and 34, six are between 18 and 24 and four others are under 17, state figures show.

At least 61 of the state’s coronavirus patients, or 29%, have been hospitalized at some point during their illness, according to the Oregon Health Authority, up from 56 the previous day.

State health officials have reported five previous COVID-19 deaths in the state. They’ve occurred in Lane, Linn, Multnomah, Marion and Washington counties.

While more than 4,000 people in the state have now received tests, according to figures published by the health authority, countless more remain unable to obtain one due limited availability.

The state reported that of the 4,559 tests administered so far, 4,350 were negative. There were also another 430 tests pending.

Testing shortages are a huge problem across the nation, not only in Oregon, creating a dramatic undercount of how many people actually are infected with the virus.
