Polk County approved to move down to Lower Risk, Jefferson, Klamath, and Marion approved to move down to Moderate Risk
Final county movements announced this week
(Salem, OR) — Governor Kate Brown today announced updates to county risk levels under the state’s public health framework to reduce transmission and protect Oregonians from COVID-19. A complete list of counties and their associated risk levels is available here.
Polk County has achieved a 65% adult vaccination rate and has been approved to move down to the Lower Risk level, effective immediately. Jefferson, Klamath, and Marion counties have been approved to move down to Moderate Risk, effective Friday, June 25.Effective Friday, June 25, there will be 23 counties at the Lower Risk level, 7 at Moderate Risk, and 6 at the High Risk level.
“Fewer than 45,000 more Oregonians need to receive a first dose to achieve a 70% statewide adult vaccination rate,” said Governor Brown. “Vaccines are the best way for Oregonians to protect themselves, their families, and communities against COVID-19. It’s because so many Oregonians have stepped up to get vaccinated that we will soon be able to lift health and safety restrictions. Get your shot today, and you may just win $1 million through the Take Your Shot, Oregon campaign.”
Final county movement week
When Oregon achieves a first dose 70% statewide vaccination rate for residents 18 or older, Oregon will lift all risk level health and safety restrictions. (Some restrictions based on CDC guidance for use of masks and physical distancing may remain in place.) Because Oregon is close to achieving a 70% vaccination rate in the coming days, no further county risk level movements will be announced after this week.
Your not fooling anyone Kate Brown. You are never going to lift the restrictions. Period ! Your just using that to try and force vaccinations on people. The fact that the push has been so hard for vaccinations days it all. Somethings fishy with the whole thing bad we’re NOT buying it !!
My right to choose if I get the virus or if I get vaccinated. Seems the risk of dying from the virus is actually very low. The numbers said to be death due to covid are not right. FAUCCI IN HIS RELEASED TEXT MESSAGES HAS EVEN SAID TO COUNT ALL DEATHS COVID DEATHS,INCLUDING ACCIDENT BY VEHIVLE,OR SIMPLE HOME OR FARM ACCIDENTS. WITH THE NUMBER OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS NOT GOING TO TAKE THE VACCINE IT SEND RED FLAGS UP. THIS GOVERNMENT PUSH IS NOT LAW,AND IT GOES AGAINST OUR AMEDMENT RIGHTS. This far left communist tyrannical dictators of the Democratic party have far surpassed what is constitutionally legal. Soon there are going to be many law suits against the government mainly you. You over step your bounds on most issues but refuse to stand up against the huge issues which is the terrorists that are destroying Portland. BLM and ANTIFA. You are a poor governor. One of worst . It will be so GREAT when you are no longer in office.
No children should have to go get the shots at an age
It’s not your right to choose to infect everybody else just because you’re stupid enough not to get vaccinated
Kate Brown will drag this out as long as she can. Typical control by a state government
I can’t believe how desperate these governors are to have to have lotteries and prizes and all kinds of goodies to get people to take this vaccine.. makes me really not want it !!!
