SOUTHERN OREGON, Ore. A steady increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases continues to bring a concern to local health officials.
“We are seeing the hospitalizations going up, it is a worrisome sign,” said Dr. Shames, Jackson County Medical Director.
Jackson County says it’s seen a 17% increase in the number of cases per week. “If you do the math, we’ve had about an increase of about a third more cases in just two weeks,” said Shames.
Under the state’s new metrics, county risk levels include statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations. If there are 300 hospitalizations and a 15% increase over a 7 day period, then counties whose data places them in extreme will go to that category. If the state’s hospital numbers aren’t that bad, counties that qualify for extreme will stay at high.
