Effective Dec. 18 through Dec. 31, there will be 29 counties in the Extreme Risk level, one county at Moderate Risk, and six counties at Lower Risk. A complete list of counties and their associated risk levels is available here.
“We continue to see community spread across Oregon to the point that the majority of the state needs to continue with strict health and safety measures,” said Governor Brown. “Until we reduce the spread and have high participation in vaccination, all Oregonians need to follow the guidelines in place in their counties. I am also asking Oregonians to continue practicing the measures we know are effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19 — wear your mask, keep physical distance from others, avoid gatherings, wash your hands often, and stay home when you’re sick.”
The Oregon Health Authority will examine and publish county data weekly. County risk levels will be reassigned every two weeks. The first week’s data will provide a “warning week” to prepare counties for potential risk level changes. The next assignment of risk levels will take effect Jan. 1.
Updates to Warning Week data and county risk levels will be posted to coronavirus.oregon.gov.
I think you should take leave of being Oregon’s Governor. I cannot understand why you can’t see that your leadership decisions have become worse than the pandemic itself! Wake up…people go public to share their issues and what do you do? You fine them. Your actions show me that you don’t care about Oregon and the people that live there. You only care about how to control us. AND what’s up raising minimum wages. Minimum wage was put in place for graduate to have a step up until they worked their way up in the world. May I ask, what good has become of it? Higher prices on everything so realistically no one has benefited from it because everything has gone up too! I wish President Trump could show you the way but your mind will never accept his way! Equality has become something different also.
I’m just asking that you think long term before you make a decision and also that it be your decision without influence from other Democratic Governors. You won’t take advise for our President because he is for the people and making America great again!
