UPDATE (March 7, 10:07 a.m. PT) — The number of presumptive positive cases of novel coronavirus in Oregon has more than doubled, according to the Oregon Health Authority.
Health officials confirmed four new cases Saturday morning in Jackson, Klamath and Washington counties. That brings the Oregon total to seven.
Three of the newly reported cases are travel-related and the fourth is a person who was in contact with an existing case.
Testing limitations may conceal how fast the virus is spreading in Oregon.
The Oregon Health Authority is currently limiting testing to patients who have severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization and to people who have had contact with confirmed coronavirus cases.
They just don’t have enough tests to check everyone. That means, until more testing happens, there’s no real way of knowing how far the disease has spread in Oregon.
In southwest Washington, Clark County confirmed its first presumptive positive case of the virus late Friday.
People who came into contact with Clark County’s coronavirus patient are now in quarantine, according to Clark County Public Health.
Clark County Public Health said it also received results for two additional pending tests which turned out to be negative.The Clark County coronavirus case is a male in his 70s.
He’s currently hospitalized and in isolation at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver. He did not recently travel to a country where the virus is circulating, according to Clark County Public Health.
The vast majority of U.S. deaths from the virus have occurred in Washington state.
