While the current situation in Oregon will shift and grow, the OHA is providing daily updates on the effects in our state.

“With recent news that federal authorities may recommend wearing masks in public, Oregon Health Authority is reminding Oregonians that staying home and avoiding all non-essential contact with others continues to be the most important thing all of us can do to stay healthy and keep others healthy,” writes the OHA.

After an executive order was passed down by Governor Kate Brown, the state has shut down all non-essential expeditions away from the isolation of Oregonian homes.

Health officials urge good hand hygiene, covering coughs and staying home if you are sick. A guideline regarding how to keep your personal, work, and schools clean published by the Center for Disease Control can be found here.
