Covid numbers continue to drop with Linn County at 0.7% and Lane County at 4.3% this week. The weather is warming, and vaccines are getting distributed. The risk categories do not change until 14 days in a new per 100,000 case distribution. Generally, that is <50 puts the county in low risk (green on the chart), and less than 5% positivity rate. The other milestones that change risk factors are 100 for moderate, 200 high and >200 extreme per 100,000 residents. Looking at the percent positivity rate, these factors should be changing for most of the state in the next two weeks, but both counties are still at moderate risk levels.
While we are waiting, here are some events that have low risk, and still can get you out in the warming weather conditions.
