This week, Oregon added a statewide hospitalization metric for moving to extreme risk. As vaccine distribution increases, case counts and percent positivity will not be adequate indicators on their own for measuring the threat COVID-19 poses to public health, said a news release from the governor s office.
In order for counties to move to extreme risk, they must meet the county metrics for case rates and percent positivity, plus a new statewide metric: COVID-19 positive patients occupying 300 hospital beds or more, and a 15% increase in the seven-day average over the past week.
Five counties are in a two-week caution period because they moved down in risk level during the previous two-week period but saw their COVID numbers rise in the latest two-week period.

Updated Apr 01, 2021;
EUGENE Six Oregon players who were injured last season are back to full participation this spring, three others are on their way back and several others are going to miss spring practice.
Running back CJ Verdell (left thumb), tight ends Spencer Webb and Patrick Herbert, outside linebackers Adrian Jackson Jr. and Jackson LaDuke and cornerback Dontae Manning are all “full speed,” according to Mario Cristobal.
Inside linebacker Justin Flowe (torn meniscus) has been limited but is expected to be a full participant in two weeks, offensive lineman Jaylan Jeffers (left arm) has also been limited and may be held out of spring due to precautionary reasons and tight end Cam McCormick is “progressing well” from an unspecified injury that kept him out of last season, Cristobal said.
