Thank you to everyone who lives and works in Malheur County for showing compassion for your neighbors, your resilience and ingenuity in such trying times, and for staying informed with the right information when there are many myths and fears circulating.
Malheur County is revising the plan for reopening to meet the state prerequisites. We need to increase testing, ensure people are social distancing, and get more businesses operating as soon as possible. While we have an increase in positive COVID-19 cases and a higher rate of positives per the number of tests being done, we are still in a fortunate position to have no hospitalizations, no deaths, and no outbreaks in congregate care settings at this time. We are designing a plan to reopen as soon as possible to balance the many needs of our community, while recognizing there are significant risks involved.
