Just a few hours after our COVID Q&A on April 27th, the expected hammer came down: Jackson, Klamath, and Josephine Counties were going back into "Extreme Risk" status.
The designation increases restrictions, banning activities like indoor dining. County status will now be reviewed weekly, so affected counties could see their lot improved as soon as Friday, May 7th.
Dr. Jim Shames is the Medical Director atJackson County Health and Human Services. He visits once a week to catch us up on COVID-19 issues and current concerns.
Joining this week is Michael Weber, Public Health Director for Josephine County. He points out that Josephine County is not running mass-vaccination clinics, instead opting for a distributed model. Call to find out where closest to you... 541-916-7030.
