PORTLAND — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown extended an order Tuesday prohibiting dine-in service at restaurants and bars as state officials reported four more deaths from the coronavirus.
Oregon’s State Emergency Coordination Center said the total number of deaths had reached 33 as of Tuesday while confirmed cases increased to over 1,180 statewide. The deaths were a 71-year-old woman, an 83-year-old woman, and a 98-year-old woman in Marion County and a 91-year-old woman in Washington County. All had underlying medical conditions.
Brown’s original order banning dine-in service was set to expire next week but now aligns with her Stay Home, Save Lives order. Both will remain in effect until lifted by Brown. Businesses can continue takeout or delivery service.
Brown also said her COVID-19 Medical Advisory Panel met for the first time Tuesday.
