Cumulative Cases
Please note: This represents the total number of cases since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. |
16164 |
Currently Hospitalized with COVID-19 Please note: This is the 7 day average of the number of people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, updated daily. |
<10 |
Cumulative Deaths Please note: This represents the total number of deaths since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
70 |
CDC Community Level This is the County's risk level as determined by the CDC. Please visit here for more information. The level is updated once a week, on Thursdays. |
Medium - The Medium category is yellow to signal caution (like a traffic light). We urge everyone to slow down, assess, and consider adjusting behaviors to lower risk for further increases in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. |
Live Dashboards
Benton County COVID-19 Data
In response to community requests, Benton County created the data dashboard below to provide information in a way that is easy to read and understand. By providing this data, we hope those in our community will be able to see data trends and more detailed data around COVID-19 in Benton County.
**This data is updated weekly**
MOBILE USERS CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE DATA DASHBOARD
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.
- Full Screen: Users can expand the dashboard to full screen mode by clicking the arrows in the bottom right corner of the dashboard.
- Dashboard Views: Users can navigate between dashboard views by clicking on the left and right arrows at the bottom of the dashboard.
- 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.
- Request Alternate Format: Benton County is committed to accessibility. Please contact JoeHahn at joe.hahn@co.benton.or.us or 541-766-6851 to request this information in a different format.
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

Masking recommendations |
Effective March 12, 2022, masking is no longer required in most public indoor settings. It is still required in healthcare settings, and anywhere else a proprietor has decided to continue the requirement. Universal public indoor masking is still recommended for those at high-risk of COVID-19 complications. |
Assess your own risk, decide your own precautions |
Though masking is no longer required in most situations, it is still a useful tool to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. Benton County recommends that everyone assess their personal and situational risk, and decide what COVID-19 precautions to take. |
