Thursday, OHA published a new dashboard report of pediatric COVID-19 case data in Oregon. This dashboard replaces the previous report and will be published weekly on Thursdays with the most recent full week’s data. Here are some key findings: There have been 31,394 confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 among people under 18 years old (12.7% of the total cases). As with COVID-19 cases overall, weekly COVID-19 pediatric cases have increased dramatically since July 2021. Pediatric case rates are highest among some communities of color and Tribal communities: people who identify as Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native, Black or Hispanic. The report indicates that while pediatric case counts have increased, severe outcomes among pediatric patients are rare: 0.9% of pediatric patients have been hospitalized at some point during their COVID-19 illness. There have been two reported deaths with COVID-19 among people under 18 years.
