The Oregon Health Authority on Tuesday reported four COVID-19 deaths and 484 new cases as Gov. Kate Brown announced five counties can ease various restrictions because of high vaccination rates.
Benton, Deschutes, Hood River, Lincoln and Washington counties have at least partially vaccinated 65% of residents 16 and older, according to the state. Reaching that benchmark, combined with writing plans to ensure equity in vaccinations, gives counties the green light to ease restrictions on businesses and gathering sizes.
