Weekly Report presents snapshot of COVID-19 in Oregon – OHA Tuesday released its COVID-19 Weekly Report, which presents an in-depth look at the virus in Oregon. This week’s report again contains a summary of the week’s data by an OHA Senior Health Advisor. Also new this week is a table that displays cases by gender and ethnicity. This week’s report no longer contains a table of underlying conditions of those who have died from COVID-19. Routinely available information about COVID-19 cases lacks sufficient detail to offer useful information about the specific conditions that make up the broad categories included in the table. A more accurate and reliable source of information about underlying medical conditions among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 has become available through COVID-NET (https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_5.html), a national surveillance network that collects detailed medical information about hospitalized patients in many states. Oregon is a participant in COVID-NET.
