Winter Holidays

Jackson County is under the Extreme Risk level, and disease activity is widespread in the county. Please follow the guidance under the Extreme Risk; following the guidance will help reduce the community spread of COVID-19. Information can be found on the OHA website.

There are many ways to recognize and celebrate the holidays and still stay safe. It’s wise to consider participating in activities that are a lower risk so that you and your loved ones remain healthy throughout the season. This year will look different from other years. We know it’s disappointing not to gather and celebrate as you usually would, but it will be worth the effort to stay safe.

Travel may increase your chance of spreading and getting COVID-19. The Oregon Health Authority and the Centers for Disease Control continue to recommend postponing travel and staying home, as this is the best way to protect yourself and others this year. Review the Oregon Statewide Recommended Guidance for Travel.

It’s important to remember to follow the general safety guidelines that will keep you and your loved ones healthy during the holiday season. Everyone can make the winter holiday celebration safer this year.

  • Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth, both indoor and outdoor.
  • Stay at least 6 feet away from others who do not live with you
  • Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated indoor spaces
  • Wash your hands often
  • Get your flu vaccine
  • Minimize the number of people you are around and limit the gathering size to 6 people and no more than two different households.
    • Host a virtual celebration with friends and family
    • Gather virtually for gift exchange or activity
    • Proper ventilation if a gathering is held indoors
