Most Statewide COVID Restrictions Lifted Today

At 12:01am today, most of the state’s COVID restrictions were lifted pursuant to the Governor’s latest executive order. This includes the lifting of the statewide mask mandate, capacity limitations for businesses and other venues, and physical distancing requirements. Masks will still be required in some settings such as public transit and certain health care settings. The Oregon Health Authority will be taking down much of its guidance and replacing it with best practices. 
Local jurisdictions and businesses may continue to operate with their own health and safety policies in place and everyone is encouraged to continue to follow guidance from the CDC on slowing the spread of COVID-19 which includes mask wearing for unvaccinated individuals.
