LANE COUNTY, Ore. After Lane County Public Health s announcement today that the community will be bumped back to the high risk level on Friday, community members and business owners in our area are sharing their thoughts.
Throughout the pandemic, doors have opened and closed, leading businesses and residents to navigate the restrictions as they come and go.
Here’s what Eugene resident Jim Wescott had to say.
“I was afraid that was going to happen when I was watching the daily numbers going higher and higher every day in Lane County,” Westcott said. “It was disappointing. I was pretty sure we were going to go back to high risk.”
