Current Case Counts
Benton County only reports COVID-19 cases of Benton county residents. People who are hospitalized but don’t reside in Benton County are not reported in daily or historical case counts.
Current Case Counts |
|
New Cases | 12 |
Total Cases
The Oregon Health Authority reports presumptive cases; Benton County, Oregon reports confirmed COVID-19 cases. Presumptive means an individual is symptomatic and has been tested for COVID-19, but test results have not been reported. Confirmed means the individual's test result is positive for COVID-19. At times, there are discrepancies between the County and OHA numbers due to the time delay in administering test(s), i.e., presumptive cases, and receiving test result(s), i.e. confirmed cases. |
2233 |
Hospitalized at the Time of Diagnosis
Please note: Our phrasing around hospitalizations has shifted. We currently report hospitalizations as they apply to new COVID-19 cases. Individuals may be hospitalized after the time of diagnosis, and they are not currently reflected in our daily hospitalization numbers. |

**This data is updated weekly**

Notes on Using the Dashboard:
- Disclaimer: This data should be used for informational purposes. Please contact your healthcare provider to discuss decisions regarding your personal health and safety.

- Additional Context: Many data points and indicators have additional information that can help users better understand what they are seeing. Hovering over a data point or indicator will bring up the additional information if available.
Dashboard context
- Testing: The percentage of positive tests is simply a statistical fact, not under the control of medical providers, public health, or the general public. The percentage of positive tests is not a direct measure of disease spread in a community.
- Number of Positive Tests: Out of the many COVID-19 tests conducted each day, most are negative. Some tests are positive for COVID-19, others are inconclusive. The number of positive and negative tests may not add to the total number of tests because of inconclusive results. Furthermore, the number of positive tests is larger than the number of cases, since most individuals who have COVID-19 are tested more than once during the course of their illness.
Guidance for General Population
Starting December 3, Oregon will be under a new COVID-19 health and safety framework. Under this framework, there are four different risk levels based on the level of COVID-19 spread in each county. It is called the “Risk and Protection Framework” and will replace both the previous “re-opening phases” and “watch list” risk categories.
To learn more about the Risk and Protection Framework, visit Building A Safe and Strong Oregon.
