PORTLAND, Ore. — Health officials on Wednesday reported 1,243 new COVID-19 cases and 30 more deaths connected to the virus.
It’s the third time during the pandemic that the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has reported at least 30 coronavirus-related deaths in a day. The most deaths OHA has reported in a day was 36 on Tuesday, Dec. 8. The state’s COVID-19 death toll is up to 1,110 people.
