On a day when a computer glitch kept the stateâs COVID-19 cases numbers artificially low, the Oregon Health Authority announced a spike in case numbers at a Corvallis nursing home and new outbreaks at multiple locations in Linn and Benton counties.
OHA reported 764 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, including 27 in the mid-valley, but the agency said the tally was lower than expected because a server outage had temporarily shut down a reporting database.
Meanwhile, after a week in which no new cases were reported, the outbreak at Corvallis Manor had jumped from 82 cases to 116 cases with two fatalities as of Sunday, according to data released Wednesday by OHA. An earlier outbreak at the facility resulted in 21 cases among residents and staff and left three residents dead.
