Oregon’s three coronavirus patients are a man and a woman between age 40 and 50 and one man between age 60 and 70, state health officials said Friday.

The Oregon Health Authority released the information after repeatedly saying they wouldn’t provide the kinds of patient details released by health officials in other states.

The health authority also confirmed that Oregon’s first patient was still hospitalized and tested positive Feb. 28. The agency previously wouldn’t give any updates on his hospitalization. His condition was not available Friday evening, the agency said. The health authority earlier would say only that the patient had spent time at Forest Hills Elementary School, in Lake Oswego, lived in Washington County and was being treated at Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center.

Other sources have since said the man is a janitor at Forest Hills. The hospital also has not disclosed his condition.

Oregon’s second patient, a woman, is somewhere between 40 and 50 years old, isn’t hospitalized and is recovering from her illness, the health authority said. The agency previously described her as a “household contact” of the first patient, but other sources said she was a family member. She tested positive at Oregon’s state laboratory March 1.

The third patient is a man between 60 and 70 who attended a youth basketball game last weekend and tested positive for the coronavirus March 2, the health authority said. His status was unavailable, state health officials said.

Other sources have said he is recovering and works at the Wildhorse Resort and Casino in Pendleton.

The health authority released the details in response to “intense public interest.”

“In the past, OHA has limited the patient information the agency reports to protect patient rights, ensure patient privacy and help people feel comfortable cooperating with public health investigations,” the agency said in a news release. “OHS is also committed to providing accurate, timely and transparent information about COVID-19 and other diseases.”

The state lab continues to test people who could have the disease, with results for 28 people pending Friday.

Since the third patient tested positive Monday, there have been no new cases identified in the state. A total of 64 have tested negative.
