The processing issue also has created an artificially high positivity rate today. OHA is working through the backlog of unprocessed test results.
Daily COVID-19 hospitalizations dropped slightly
The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients across Oregon dropped to 577, seven fewer than yesterday. There are 111 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds. That is six fewer than yesterday.
