Due to wildfire activity in Oregon, Governor Brown has declared a state of emergency (Executive Order No. 21-17).

Visit the OTA Emergency page for information on specific fires.

June 30, 2021 - Oregon has officially reopened! As of June 30, per Gov. Brown's "Recovery Order" issued last week, the mask mandate, capacity limits and other business restrictions are now lifted. The new order will remain in effect until the end of the year, with the focus shifting to recovery efforts. It was left up to businesses to decide if they wish to continue with the now repealed measures (masks, social distancing, etc.).

OR-OSHA has removed the facial covering and social distancing requirements of its COVID-19 COVID-19 rule for all workplaces, with certain exceptions (health care, public transit & airports). It has also updated its COVID-19 Workplace Requirements for Employer-Provide Labor Housing.
