Jackson County stayed in the "high risk" category in Oregon's rankings of COVID-19 management.
It's not a glowing status, perhaps, but still better than "extreme risk," which the county was in danger of sliding back into. Vaccines continue to go out as case reports continue to come in in smaller numbers.
