PORTLAND, Ore. — There are two new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,756 the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. Monday. Oregon Health Authority reported 78 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Monday bringing the state total to 206,850. Note: Monday’s daily case count is unusually low.
