Effective December 3rd:
New health and safety framework will move counties into risk level groups rather than the prior phased approach in recognition that our path back to normalcy will not be a straight line. The "Risk Level" approach allows greater flexibility in response to decreases or increases in the spread of COVID-19.
Beginning Monday, November 30, the Oregon Health Authority will examine county data to assign each county a risk level. This data will be reexamined every two weeks to update the county's risk. Counties and the public will be given data weekly and the county will have the next week to prepare for potential risk level changes. Risk levels will only change every two weeks as appropriate to their metrics during that time period. These metrics are adjusted for county size.
County risk levels will now determine allowed and prohibited activities.
