KLCC s Chris Lehman reports on more efforts by Benton County to change state metrics in determining COVID-19 risk levels.
Benton is one of just five Oregon counties still considered to be “Extreme Risk.” The county’s test positivity rate is among the lowest in the state, but the overall number of positive tests has so far prevented it from seeing its restrictions eased.
Restaurants in Corvallis can t offer indoor dining while Benton County remains in the Extreme Risk category.

County leaders say the high number of coronavirus tests done by Oregon State University contributes to their status, even though they’re careful to say they support the testing program run by OSU.

While 2021 has just begun, Oregon’s public universities already have their sights set on the upcoming fall, and the possibility of increasing what occurs on campus and in person. High school seniors are facing college application deadlines, with some looming this coming week and some that have officially passed.
Currently, the majority of Oregon’s seven public universities are planning to increase or restore in-person learning, including the state’s three largest Oregon State University, University of Oregon and Portland State University as well as Eastern Oregon University.
Southern Oregon University said it hopes to be primarily in-person in the fall, while Western Oregon University and Oregon Institute of Technology both said it’s too early to make that call. The details of each school’s plans vary based on local circumstances.
