Lane among 16 counties improved to ‘high’ risk level
FAMILY PRACTICE • IMMUNIZATIONS
PHYSICALS • SPECIALIZED CARE
SALEM—Oregon Gov.
Kate Brown announced at
the end of last week that 16
counties improved in risk
level, with 10 of those im-
proving from extreme risk.
“For the second time in
a row, we are seeing great
progress in stopping the
spread of COVID-19 across
Oregon and saving lives,”
Brown said. “Oregonians
continue to step up and
make smart choices.”
County risk levels un-
der the state’s public
health framework aim to
reduce transmission and
protect Oregonians from
COVID-19.
The framework uses
four different risk lev-
els for counties based on
COVID-19 spread — ex-
treme risk, high risk, mod-
erate risk, and lower risk
— and assigns health and
safety measures for each
level.
Effective Feb. 26 through
March 11, there will be five
counties in the extreme risk
level, 11 at high risk, 10 at
moderate risk, and 10 at
lower risk. Lane County
joins those able to reintro-
duce certain activities, in-
cluding in-person dining at
restaurants and the reopen-
ing of community center.
“While these county
movements are welcome
news, we must continue to
take seriously health and
safety measures, especially
as more businesses reopen
and we start to get out
more,” Brown continued.
“As we see infection rates
going down and vaccina-
tions ramping up, now is
not the time to let down our
guard. Continue to wear
your masks, keep physical
distance and avoid indoor
gatherings.”
The Oregon Health Au-
thority will examine and
publish county data week-
ly. County risk levels will
be reassigned every two
weeks. The first week’s data
will provide a “warning
week” to prepare coun-
ties for potential risk level
changes. The next assign-
ment of risk levels will be
announced March 9 and
take effect March 12.
