COVID-19 in Douglas County is getting scarier and scarier. In fact, it is worse than it was when COVID first started. This report will be updated weekly for every student and staff member of Roseburg High School and will include ways that the virus is changing rules around how school operates–as well as rules for community spaces and businesses because it is important that everyone knows what is happening around our community. This will help make sure everyone is staying safe.
