The Rates Keep Rising: COVID-19 Q&A

Google
Oregon new daily cases, measured since late March.

There is little positive news in the COVID-19 infections of late. New case numbers are spiking around the world and around the country, and Jackson County continues to break its daily new case records, several times a week.

We continue to explore the numbers and the public health responses to the situation. Dr. Jim Shames is the Medical Director at Jackson County Health and Human Services.

He visits once a week to catch us up on COVID-19 issues and current concerns. Ask your question at 800-838-3760 or JX@jeffnet.org.
