On 6/25/21, Governor Kate Brown announced she was lifting all of the state’s COVID-19 requirements and terminating the county risk level framework on Wednesday, 6/30. What does that mean for businesses?
- No more statewide mask mandates in most settings, except for health care, airports and transportation, elder care, and school and child care
- No required capacity limits in restaurants, businesses, faith communities, gyms and entertainment venues
- No required physical distancing
- Counties and local public health authorities are responsible for slowing the spread of COVID-19
- Individuals and organizations able to host gatherings of any size
Businesses and organizations might still choose to implement masking and other precautions to protect children and the most vulnerable in our community. Employers and businesses can require vaccination for entry or participation.
We still have work to do to stop COVID-19. We’re making headway in vaccinating people of color, but a disparity still exists. Distancing and masking precautions might still be advisable in some situations. Vaccinations remain critical for avoiding COVID-19.
