Tonight we shared sad news. A 70-year man, a resident of Multnomah County who had underlying medical conditions, became the first person in Oregon to die from COVID-19. He had been hospitalized at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The individual is not connected to the cases at the Oregon Veterans’ Home in Lebanon.
“While we knew we would arrive at this day at some point, it doesn’t lessen the impact,” said Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with the family of this individual who honorably served his country.”
