The Oregon Health Authority on Wednesday reported 764 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and 8 more fatalities.
The agency said the case count was lower than expected because of a server outage that affected the state’s database. The count was expected to return to normal by Thursday, the state said.
After three weeks of declining case counts, that number rose by 17% for the week ending Sunday, though reported deaths dropped by 13 from the previous week, a 15% decrease. Still, December was by far the deadliest month of the pandemic in Oregon with nearly 470 fatalities.
