15 new cases in Deschutes County, 4 in Jefferson County PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Oregon Health Authorities reported a record 409 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, in part for technical reasons, but said there were no new deaths, keeping that toll at 232. OHA reported 409 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, bringing the state total to 11,85 cases, along with 280,332 negative test results.
