The post The 10 Oregon ZIP codes with the most new coronavirus cases appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>Coronavirus is spreading more pervasively across a growing number of communities statewide as surging case counts can no longer be largely attributed to concentrations in only a handful of ZIP codes across Oregon.
State data released by the Oregon Health Authority last week showed 1,402 confirmed or presumed new infections for the week ending June 28, pushing the overall total to 8,485 (it’s since grown to more than 10,000 with new ZIP code data to be released Wednesday).
Those new cases were more geographically diverse than in recent weeks. Some 21 ZIP codes accounted for roughly half of the newest cases. In the past, 14 or fewer ZIP codes typically accounted for half of the newly identified cases.
In all, 41 ZIP codes across Oregon reported at least 10 new cases in the state’s most recent weekly report, an analysis by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows. The new cases were identified broadly across Oregon, including two ZIP codes from the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego and even the communities of Irrigon and Boardman in rural Morrow County.
Here’s a look at the 10 ZIP codes where more than 25 new infections were reported. (Click here for an interactive map).
97838, Hermiston
Confirmed or presumed infections skyrocketed to 314, growing by 140 over the week.
Part of the increase is linked to an outbreak at the Lamb Weston potato factory, where identified cases totaled 72 as of June 28. That was roughly double from a week earlier.
The huge weekly surge in this Umatilla County ZIP code made it No. 2 statewide for the most identified coronavirus cases cumulatively. It has the fourth most per capita.
97850, La Grande
Total cases stood at 284, an increase of 54.
This Union County ZIP code has seen surging cases in the aftermath of an outbreak linked to the Lighthouse Pentecostal Church in Island City, near La Grande.
The Oregon Health Authority is now reporting an outbreak of 11 cases linked to the Grande Ronde Hospital and seven cases tied to Outdoors RV Manufacturing. The agency is also reporting nine cases linked to the New Day Enterprises care facility and five cases tied to Grande Ronde Retirement Residence.
This ZIP code has the fourth most cases in Oregon and the second most per capita.
97233, east Portland/Gresham
Confirmed or presumed infections total 245, growing by 37.

This ZIP code has the sixth most cases statewide and the 13th most per capita.
97071, Woodburn
Total cases hit 286, rising by 36 from the previous week.

The post The 10 Oregon ZIP codes with the most new coronavirus cases appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>The post 9 ZIP codes where COVID-19 spread fastest in the past week: Coronavirus in Oregon appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>It’s been a rough past few weeks for Oregon in its fight against the novel coronavirus, with new known daily cases continuing to climb to record levels.
Each week, the Oregon Health Authority releases a report outlining new infections by ZIP code, to show where the virus is surfacing the most. The Oregonian/OregonLive regularly crunches that data — and searches for reasons the virus is spreading.
Gov. Kate Brown said Thursday that most new cases can be pegged to identified sources: agriculture, specific workplaces, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, group living situations like jails and prisons and church or other gatherings.
But during a news conference earlier this week, state deputy epidemiologist Tom Jeanne said public health officials are concerned that the state hasn’t been able to trace the source of 35 percent of new cases.
Here’s a ZIP code breakdown of where the virus spread in the highest numbers in the week June 8-14, which is the latest data available by The Oregon Health Authority:
#1: 97850 — La Grande area
This ZIP code saw the highest number of new COVID-19 cases in the state, with 86 people testing positive. Previously, public health officials had only identified fewer than 10 cases from February to early June.
Officials said the increase was due in large part to an outbreak at the Lighthouse United Pentecostal Church in Island City, a tiny town of 1,000 that’s a suburb of La Grande in Union County. A May 24 video of a service showed congregants packed indoors together, singing and chanting without masks.
But the 86 new cases doesn’t accurately cover the full scope of the outbreak: Public health officials said at least 236 people have tested positive, and most of those results came back on Monday and Tuesday of this week. That was too late to make it into the Oregon Health Authority’s latest weekly report.
The church represents the single largest outbreak in the state.
#2: 97233 — Southeast Portland and Gresham
This area encompasses a chunk of Southeast Portland that stretches east into Gresham’s Rockwood neighborhood. It includes David Douglas High School and the blocks between Southeast 122nd and 202nd avenues.
Cases here jumped by 49 in a week — to a total of 159 cases.
But there were no large outbreaks in nursing homes, churches or workplaces that would explain the elevated numbers, according to the Multnomah County Health Department.
County spokesperson Kate Willson said in an email that the disease in this area has been spreading in “clusters” in “specific communities and families who socialize together and share households.” Willson said a high percentage of these residents were essential workers who are at higher risk of being exposed to the virus.
#3: 97365 — Newport
Cases here jumped by 43, to a total of 187 positive cases since the pandemic began.
Seven of those 43 cases were due to a new outbreak at Local Ocean, a seafood restaurant, which closed upon learning about the positive test results.
Owner Laura Anderson said in a Facebook post Sunday that all of those who tested positive were employees who worked in the kitchen.
“Our service staff, those a customer would interact with, all tested negative,” Anderson wrote.
Anderson added: “We will let you know when we are ready to reopen the dining room, fish market and resume take out operations.”
Friday, the fish market reopened.
Local Ocean only accounts for a small portion of the ZIP code’s cases. Of the 43 new cases in the area, 18 were also traced to the food processor Pacific Seafood, which shares an address with the Local Ocean restaurant. A total of 145 infections have been linked to Pacific Seafood since early June.
This ZIP code has the highest per capita rate in Oregon, at about 16 cases per 1,000 people.
#4: 97236 — Southeast Portland
This area is directly south of ZIP code 97233. It roughly covers the area around Powell Butte Nature Park.
The number of new cases here jumped by 41, to a total of 249 cases.
Public health officials have reported no new outbreaks at workplaces or adult care facilities in this area. But the area does include Healthcare at Foster Creek, a nursing home that was linked to 120 cases and 34 deaths. Public health officials, however, haven’t reported any new cases or deaths tied to the nursing home.
Like in the ZIP code 97233 just to the north, public health officials couldn’t pinpoint a large outbreak as the source of 97236′s increase in new cases. Willson, the county spokesperson, again said the jump in cases here was due to the high number of essential workers who are at greater risk of contracting the disease. Willson also said the disease was spreading among communities and families who socialize or live together.
#5: 97013 — Canby
New cases here grew by 34 in a week, to a total of 98 cases.
An ongoing outbreak at Marquis Hope Village Post-Acute Rehab appears to be responsible for a big portion of COVID-19 infections in this ZIP code. At least 92 cases have been linked to the facility from June 4 to June 14. Seven people have died.
But it’s clear that some of the 92 cases are people who live outside of Canby. They are likely employees and close contacts of residents or employees.
According to data available Wednesday, 33 residents, 36 staff and apparently 23 other people have tested positive for the virus because of their connection to the facility.
The outbreak at Marquis Hope Village is the second largest at a long-term care facility in the state. Only Healthcare at Foster Creek in Southeast Portland has seen more cases, 120, and more deaths, 34.
#6: 97838 — Hermiston
This ZIP code covers a large swath of Hermiston and some of outlying areas. Cases here increased by 24, reaching a total of 106 infections since the pandemic began.
The previous week, infections had increased by 14 — so the disease has been spreading at a faster rate.
It’s unclear what’s driving the higher numbers. An outbreak at Medelez Trucking, which infected 27 people, appeared to be winding down. No one had come down with symptoms during the June 8-14 reporting period.
#7: 97303 — Keizer
New infections jumped by 24 here, to 110 total cases logged since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis.
There has been no outbreak at a workplace, organized event or long-term care facility that can explain the rise.
But the Oregon Health Authority has identified six “active” workplace outbreaks in neighboring ZIP codes in Marion County. These active outbreaks have been ongoing at the Oregon State Penitentiary with 176 cases, Santiam Correctional Institution with 15 cases, Salem Hospital with 12, food processor Norpac with 11, food processor BrucePac with 7 and Amazon in Aumsville with 6 cases.
#8: 97305 — Northeast of Salem
Cases here climbed by 20 in a week, bringing the total infections so far in this ZIP code to 141. This area encompasses the community of Brooks, and is just east of Keizer, across Interstate 5.
Again, like in Keizer, the Oregon Health Authority can’t point to a single large outbreak in this ZIP code. But neighboring ZIP codes have struggled with workplace outbreaks.
#9: 97031 — Hood River
This area saw cases rise by 20, to a total of 71.
A major contributor to new cases is the active outbreak at Duckwall Fruit, the pear packing company. The latest weekly report identified 16 new cases. A total of 61 cases have been identified at the facility since late May.

The post 9 ZIP codes where COVID-19 spread fastest in the past week: Coronavirus in Oregon appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>The post New map programs which postal code in Berkeley, county have the most COVID-19 cases appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>
A brand-new, interactive map launched by Alameda County reveals the geographic spread of COVID-19 cases by zip code.
The brand-new addition to the county’s COVID-19 information control panel shows a small concentration of cases in one Berkeley postal code, but the total case number is too low to reason about rates of infection throughout the city.
The dataset reveals that 94703– which extends from the Oakland border to Hopkins Street, generally between Sacramento Street and Martin Luther King Jr.
The 94703 postal code also has the second-largest population of all Berkeley zip codes (20,294 residents), so the size might add to the relative prevalence in virus cases.
The data “does not actually state much,” stated city spokesperson Matthai Chakko.
While Berkeley reports geographic and market data to the county, the city itself has not released information on the place of any of its positive COVID-19 cases. Berkeley typically offers fewer details about its cases than surrounding jurisdictions do.
” We have to secure the personal privacy of individual individuals,” Chakko stated. “With little numbers, zip code information can be used with case counts to identify people.”
The city’s 2018 Health Status Report discovered big variations by zip code in lots of health results.
Across the country, black people are dying from the coronavirus at much higher rates than other groups too, and in San Francisco, Latinos have been overrepresented in validated infection cases.
” It’s not unexpected that we’re seeing reports of inequity in regards to testing, diagnosis and disparities in terms of who will pass away,” Sandra McCoy, associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UC Berkeley, just recently informed Berkeleyside. “We’re basically layering a pandemic on top of established inequities defined by race and socioeconomic status.”
There “are deep health injustices in Berkeley,” Chakko said.
He said the city’s Public Health Department is structured to deal with the systemic disparities with programs like Heart 2 Heart– a hypertension and cardiovascular disease program with LifeLong Treatment– particularly targeted at a little area of South Berkeley.
Berkeley’s coronavirus testing site, likewise a partnership with LifeLong, has “a specific goal of screening individuals without access to health care,” Chakko stated.
City Councilman Ben Bartlett, who represents a chunk of 94703, stated he was “sadly not shocked” to see that the zip code was the first to sign up in the database.
” Individuals in South Berkeley often have underlying health conditions, they’re poorer so they do not have the exact same access to good food and other wellness routines,” he stated. “They are the delivery drivers and the Uber drivers and the clerks who are working during this while our more wealthy next-door neighbors can work from home.”
Bartlett stated his workplace has been phoning constituents, distributing masks and working with churches to get in touch with congregants and make certain they’re not gathering face to face.
” Its motivating that they’re engaged with us but it’s unpleasant due to the fact that it’s safe to assume whatever injustices we had previously will end up being magnified,” he stated. “The worst part is the post-coronavirus collapse is likely going to remove the tenuous achievements we’ve made” in health and financial results.
Throughout the rest of Alameda County, several postal code in East Oakland have the highest rates of infection, according to the dataset.
