In an update on COVID-19 risk levels Tuesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced Lane County will move from High to Moderate Risk for transmission starting Friday June 4 through June 10.
Overall, 13 counties will be considered High Risk, with four categorized as Moderate, including Lane, and 19 will be grouped in the Lower Risk category.
To move into the lower risk category, at least 65 percent of adult residents need at least one dose of the vaccine, and the county must submit documentation on how they will close equity gaps in their vaccination efforts.
As of Tuesday, Lane County needs to administer 2,863 prime doses to meet this criteria.
