Extreme Risk: What’s Open in My County? The best way to find accurate information on the COVID-19 Risk Level for Oregon Counties and what activities are open is to access the Governor’s website, What’s Open in My County page. This website also provides the metrics for the COVID-19 Risk Levels. Currently, Jackson County is under the Extreme Risk level, and disease activity continues to be widespread in the county. Masks are currently required statewide at all times unless you are: • At your own residence • In your own personal vehicle
• Sleeping • In a private, individual workspace
• Removing the mask briefly because your identity needs to be confirmed by visual comparisons, such as at a bank or if interacting with law enforcement If you have a medical condition that makes it hard to breathe or a disability that prevents you from wearing a mask, you can request an accommodation from the business or venue or transit authority. OHA does not recommend wearing a plastic face shield alone. While face shields can be very good at blocking droplets, they are not as good at stopping aerosols that can go around the shield. OHA recommends face shields only be used on a limited basis, for example, when talking to someone who is deaf or hard of hearing and needs to read lips to communicate.
