Deschutes County has confirmed two new presumptive positive cases of coronavirus among its residents, bringing the total number of cases in the Central Oregon county to three.

The two adults who tested positive for COVID-19 are self-quarantining at home, said Morgan Emerson, a spokeswoman for the county’s public health department.

She said both people may have contracted the disease while traveling, but that county public health nurses are still working to determine exactly how they were exposed to the virus.

Neither person is linked to each other or to the first Deschutes County resident who tested positive for the virus, Emerson said.

Emerson declined to disclose the new patients’ age ranges or genders.

She said neither of the patient’s coronavirus tests were performed at Oregon’s state public health laboratory, which has said it has said it can run about 80 tests per day.

The announcement of two new cases in Deschutes County brings the total of presumptive positive coronavirus cases in Oregon to 32, with cases hitting 11 counties so far — Clackamas, Deschutes, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Umatilla and Washington.

As the number of presumptive positive cases continues to rise, state and county officials have enacted widespread measures to try and slow the spread of the virus.

Gov. Kate Brown has ordered all private and public schools to close for the next two weeks and banned gatherings of more than 250 people.
