Gov. Kate Brown updates Oregon’s county risk levels

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Beginning Friday only two of Oregon’s 36 counties — Coos and Douglas — will remain in the “extreme risk” level category due to COVID-19 spread in the area. Gov. Kate Brown made that announcement Tuesday. In addition, Multnomah County — the state’s most populous county and home of Portland — will improve to the “moderate risk” tier, which allows for increased capacity in restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and stores.
