Gov. Brown, health officials: COVID-19 surge should ease in 2-3 weeks as vaccinations rise
Governor defends Extreme Risk move: I chose to save lives
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) – As 15 Oregon counties moved back to “Extreme Risk” COVID-19 restrictions on Friday, Gov. Kate Brown and state health officials said the latest modeling shows that this round of severe business limits should end in about three weeks, thanks to increased number of vaccinated Oregonians.
Oregon has had the nation’s fastest-growing rise in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks as “cases are widespread, driven by new, more contagious variants,” Brown said, after five straight weeks of case increases of 20 percent or more and a near-doubling of hospitalizations in just a week.

Due to a swell of COVID-19 cases in Oregon, Governor Kate Brown has moved 15 counties, including Multnomah and Clackamas, back under the state’s “extreme risk” COVID designation on Friday, April 30, triggering a complete shut down of indoor dining, limiting outdoor dining capacity to 100 people, and lowering capacity for gyms and entertainment venues.
The increase in restrictions, first announced earlier this week, follows a surge of new COVID cases, most of which are tied to a highly contagious and transmittable variant of the coronavirus. In a Friday press conference, Brown said that Oregon has recorded weekly COVID cases increasing by at least 20 percent for the past five weeks straight, leading the nation in infection rates, and hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the past week.
