According to a press release from the Curry County Public Health Administrator Sherrié Ward, during the reporting period of February 16th through February 22nd, Curry County Public Health received notification of 36 new confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Under Governor Brown’s framework for assessing the risked posed by the spread of COVID-19, this active increase in COVID-19 cases has moved Curry County from Low Risk to Moderate Risk.
This Moderate Risk level will be effective beginning this upcoming Friday, February 26th. The Governor’s risk assessment matrix will now increase Curry County restrictions on some business and personal activities.
County Public Health encourages everyone to please remember it is important that we all follow the Oregon Health Authority and CDC guidelines and Governor’s directives about social distancing, wearing facial coverings in public buildings and protecting yourselves by staying home if you are ill in order to slow the spread and save lives.
