April 27 2021 The 15 counties will move into the Extreme Risk category for at least three weeks on Friday, April 30. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is banning indoor dining and increasing limits on other gatherings in 15 counties — including Multnomah and Clackamas counties — on Friday, April 30. They will remain in the Extreme Risk category for a minimum of three weeks. The announcement was supported by health professionals but criticized by business organizations. Brown's decision is intended to slow the surging spread of COVID-19 that pushed hospitalizations over 300 on Monday, a figure the governor previously said would result in more counties being moved into the Extreme Risk category. Restrictions in those counties include a ban on indoor dining, strict limits on attendance at gyms, movie theaters, bowling alleys, museums and swimming pools. Religious institutions will be asked to voluntarily limit indoor attendance to 25% or 100 people, whichever is smaller.
