Per Governor’s Office –
As of this Friday, April 30, for SW Oregon counties, risk levels will be:
- Coos (no movement – remain High)
- Curry (no movement – remain Moderate)
- Douglas: High to Moderate
- Jackson: High to Extreme
- Josephine: High to Extreme
While we are very hopeful this is the last surge and that we will see cases decline after this as vaccines increase, given the surge and increased numbers across the board, the Governor has decided to remove the “warning week” for the current and next two weeks (and the use of the “buffer week” will also be on pause). We will release movement week data on the following dates:
Tuesday, April 27th: Movement data released
Friday, April 30th: County Risk Levels change
Tuesday, May 4th: Movement data released
Friday, May 7th: County Risk Levels change
Tuesday, May 11th: Movement data released
Friday, May 14th: County Risk Levels change
Due to the hospital census yesterday of 319 hospitalized cases and the upward trend that has us at a 37.4% increase, the Governor has announced that we are re-instating extreme risk for this week. We will pull data again next week with the potential of moving all counties out of extreme risk every week if/as the hospitalizations go down (or possibly even if they simply level off). The Governor will also be calling on Metro area hospitals to pause elective surgeries until we see hospital rates come down.
There will be 15 counties moving to extreme risk on Friday, April 30th for at least one week.

Go to paintcare.org and enter your zip code to find participating stores in your area. We recommend calling the store to make sure they have room to accept your paint before you visit.
Following COVID-19 safety protocol
All participants will remain in their cars once on site. Trained hazardous waste personnel will come to you and remove the items from your vehicle. Wherever possible, please put your items to be disposed of in your trunk or rear section of your car. Once in the unloading area, please turn off your vehicle and open the trunk or pop the hatch and we’ll take care of the rest.
Does your business have hazardous waste?
Businesses in Jackson and Josephine counties can take advantage of our special Conditionally Exempt Generator Day, held each year as part of our Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off event. This service is by application only and appointments are made in advance. Fees are charged according to the type and volume of waste being disposed.
Download the Conditionally Exempt Generator information packet — including application form and inventory of waste to be disposed of at the event. For more information, please give us a call at 541.779.4161.

Business Oregon Announces Second Round of Commercial Rent Relief Grants to Help Small Businesses Cover Outstanding Lease Payments
On April 22, Business Oregon will open the second round of a grant program for building owners to cover outstanding lease payments from small business tenants that are behind on rent due to COVID-19. The grants can go up to $100,000 per each business tenant, but not more than $3 million for each landlord.
There is $42 million available in this round. Round one of the program launched on March 22nd, with 2,965 applications requesting $65.4 million. Most grant applicants from round one are receiving funding, as there was $49.9M available in round one. The funding is being allocated by region, to ensure it reaches businesses throughout the state. 2,609 grants will be awarded from the round one applicant pool, with only the Portland Metro region seeing more demand than available funds. Those applicants not selected in round one are automatically entered into round two.
This program helps small business tenants that have 100 or fewer employees. Both the business tenant and property owner will need to participate in the application process and sign the grant agreement, but the initial application needs to be completed by the landlord. The online application process is very simple, and information is available in multiple languages. In addition to Business Oregon staff, the agency has contracted with culturally-focused organizations to help small businesses and their landlords with the process if they have questions. A list is available on the Business Oregon website.
There are some minor changes to round two versus round one to accommodate additional applicants. The minimum grant amount is now $500 (from $1,000), landlords can be publicly-traded businesses, and sole proprietors do not need to register their business with the Secretary of State if they are not otherwise required to do so.
The program will open for online applications Wednesday April 22 at 9am and will be open for two weeks, closing May 6. It is NOT first-come, first-served. Applications will be chosen by a random lottery system in any geographic regions that have more applicants than available funds.
This is the seventh COVID-specific program Business Oregon has implemented to help businesses navigate the impacts of the pandemic. One of those programs — the emergency small business grant — helped about 7,400 small businesses with $43 million in grants to help offset revenue impacts from COVID-19.
More program information and eligibility details are available on Business Oregon’s website, along with the application link on April 22.
