With statewide hospitalization rates leveling, Wasco County is one of 15 counties that will move down from extreme risk to the high risk category on Friday, while Hood River County drops from high risk to moderate risk.  Oregon Governor Kate Brown said Tuesday that the lifting of the extreme risk measures come with “great personal responsibility for us all.  “She added if Oregonians follow health and safety measures and get vaccinated as fast as possible, the state should see COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates decline.  The North Central Public Health District says Wasco County had 68 cases in the latest 14-day lookback, which qualifies for extreme risk, but Brown had previously said counties would not be put in extreme risk unless statewide hospitalization numbers and rates exceeded thresholds.  Brown said counties would only be in extreme risk if 300 or more people were hospitalized with COVID and there’d been a 15 percent increase in the seven-day hospitalization average over the past week.  She said the seven-day average has dropped below 15 percent.  In the high risk category, indoor dining is allowed at 25 percent capacity, gyms can have 25 percent occupancy; and inside visitation is allowed at long-term care facilities.  Faith institutions can have maximum 25 percent occupancy or 150 people, whichever is smaller.
