On 8/11/21, Governor Kate Brown announced she was reinstating the state’s mask policy for all public indoor settings. She made this decision as cases are rapidly rising around the country because of the highly contagious Delta variant. What does that mean for businesses?
- Masks are required in businesses, stores, restaurants, faith communities, gyms and entertainment venues for all adults and children 5 and older
- No required capacity limits or physical distancing
- Individuals and private organizations encouraged to use masks indoors and in crowded outdoor settings
Employers and businesses can require vaccination for entry or participation.
