Only nine counties in Oregon remain in the "high risk" category for the spread of COVID-19, and Jackson County is no longer one of them, dropping at last into the "moderate" category.
Douglas and Klamath Counties remain in the "high" category. The risk reshuffling comes as Oregon continues to see dropping cases and increasing vaccination numbers.
