PENDLETON — Umatilla County reported seven new COVID-19 deaths this week, bringing the county’s pandemic death toll to 136.

Three of the victims died in July, the county reported. Umatilla County Public Health Director Joe Fiumara said the delay was due to issues processing documentation.

The four deaths disclosed on Thursday, Oct. 7, ties the county’s all-time record for most COVID-19 deaths reported in a single day.

The newly disclosed deaths come as the county reports a slight decline in cases after a brief spike in infection following the Pendleton Round-up, though cases remain elevated far above levels seen before the delta variant surge. Here is the breakdown of the latest reported COVID-19 fatalities:
