COVID-19 has claimed 2 more lives, bringing the state death toll to 511, as of Monday.

An update from the Oregon Health Authority reported 151 new confirmed and presumptive cases bringing the state total to 29,484. The new cases include:

*27 in Multnomah County

*23 in Umatilla County

*19 in Lane County

*18 each in Clackamas and Washington counties

*13 in Malheur County

*11 in Marion County

*4 in Jackson County

*3 each in Douglas, Deschutes, and Yamhill counties

*2 in Morrow County

*1 each in Columbia, Coos, Jefferson, Klamath, Polk, Union and Wasco counties

The 2 new deaths ranged in age from 87 to 92. 1 each lived in Lane and Washington County.

The update said wildfires and hazardous air conditions have affected COVID-19 testing in Oregon. Over the past several days, statewide testing numbers appear to have dipped. The Oregon State Public Health Laboratory is closed Monday due to poor indoor air quality, which is too hazardous to safety use appropriate air safety equipment, including hoods. No specimens are being accepted or tested. Specimens already received will be held at appropriate temperatures pending testing. OSPHL will reopen as soon as air safety standards can be met.
