The update said OHA double counted a death on September 4th that was originally reported July 24th. The duplication occurred due to an incorrectly reported date of birth. Because of this error, the number of reported deaths has been reduced by 1.

The newly reported deaths ranged in age from 72 to 97. 1 each lived in Lane, Jackson, Morrow, Marion and Multnomah counties.
