JACKSON COUNTY, Ore On Friday, Jackson County officially moved down from an Extreme Risk county to a High Risk county, opening back up indoor dining, gyms and entertainment centers to 25% capacity or a maximum of 50 people, whatever is smaller.
Jackson County Public Health said that the move to a lower risk level was prompted by a decrease in the COVID-19 case rate to below 200 cases per 100,000 population. For two weeks from February 7 through February 20, Jackson County had a case rate of 174.9 cases per 100,000 population, which allowed the county to open back up services that the public had been missing.
