OHA reported 111 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday, bringing the state total to 152,818.

Vaccinations in Oregon

Oregon has now administered a total of 802,404 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 924,575 vaccine doses have been delivered at locations in Oregon.
