Warning week begins Friday: Malheur County won t slide back just yet

ONTARIO Malheur County was given a two-week reprieve and will stay in the “lower risk” level regarding the spread of COVID-19 instead of moving to a high risk level. According to the announcement from Gov. Brown’s office on Tuesday, Malheur County qualifies for the moderate because of climbing number of cases. However, because it had just moved down from the “moderate risk” level, it will be in a two-week cautionary period, starting Friday and going through May 6 to give a chance for COVID numbers decline. Grant and Umatilla counties will also be in the caution period. Twenty-three counties will be in the “high risk” levels, three will be in the “moderate” level and 10 will be in “lower,” with none in the “extreme” level.

COVID cases, positivity rates trending downward in Malheur County

MALHEUR COUNTY Tuesday’s Risk Level Metrics: Schools and Counties report, posted weekly on the Oregon Health Authority website, shows a continuing decline in both new cases of COVID-19 and test positivity rate in Malheur County. During the two-week period from Jan. 31 to Feb. 13, the county recorded 41 new cases and a test positivity rate of 3.9%. The rate of cases was 128 per 100,000 people. Today’s report was issued during a “warning week,” an opportunity for Oregon counties to prepare for the possibility that they might move to a different level of the state’s risk level system, based on data collected over a two-week period. Changes in risk level occur during “movement weeks.”
