Hospitalizations: 332 people with confirmed cases of COVID-19 are hospitalized, down five from Friday. That includes 75 people in intensive care, down two from Friday.

Since it began: Oregon has reported 195,179 confirmed or presumed infections and 2,585 deaths, among the lowest per capita numbers in the nation.
