Building a
Safe & Strong Oregon Governor Kate Brown

As we continue to build a safer and stronger Oregon,
I again ask Oregonians to come together and be smart.

This virus is still very dangerous, and it still poses a great threat. Please follow the safety measures we are putting in place to keep each other healthy and businesses open — we have the best doctors and public health experts to guide us on how to safely weather this pandemic. It’s up to us to follow their advice if we want to keep Oregon safe and strong.

Effective Nov. 11: Malheur, Marion, Multnomah, Jackson, and Umatilla Counties are placed on a Two-Week Pause due to rapid spread of COVID-19 in those counties.

Two-Week Pause measures include:

  • Urging all businesses to mandate work from home to the greatest extent possible.
  • Pausing long-term care facility visits that take place indoors to protect staff and residents.
  • Reducing maximum restaurant capacity to 50 people (including customers and staff) for indoor dining, with a maximum party size of six. Continuing to encourage outdoor dining and take out.
  • Reducing the maximum capacity of other indoor activities to 50 people (includes gyms, fitness organizations/studios, bowling alleys, ice rinks, indoor sports, pools, and museums).
  • Limiting social gatherings to your household, or no more than six people if the gathering includes those from outside your household, reducing the frequency of those social gatherings (significantly in a two-week period), and keeping the same six people in your social gathering circle.

Statewide

For all of Oregon, regardless of what phase a county is in, face coverings are required for ages 5 and up in indoor public spaces and outdoors anywhere physical distancing isn’t possible, including while exercising. All indoor social get-togethers are capped at 10 people. Restaurants and bars close at 10pm. Capacity limit for restaurants, gyms, venues (e.g. concert halls, movie theaters) is maximum of 100 people indoors, including staff. There are additional guidelines statewide for retail, public transit, childcare, summer camps and summer school, outdoor recreation, and more.



Baseline Stay Home

Stay home as much as possible. Businesses must have employees work from home if possible. Indoor and outdoor social gatherings are capped at 10 people. Civic, cultural, and faith-based gatherings are capped at 25. Grocery stores, retail, pharmacies, banks and credit unions, and gas stations are all open. Restaurants are take-out/delivery only. Must close: gyms, playgrounds, malls, pools, entertainment facilities, youth sports, spas, sports courts, and personal care services like salons/barbers.



Phase 1

Includes limited reopening of personal services like salons and barbers, gyms, and malls, and restaurants and bars open for in-person service until 10pm. Indoor social get-togethers are capped at 10 people with physical distancing. Cultural, civic, and faith gatherings are capped at 50 people with physical distancing for indoors or outdoors.



Phase 2

After 21 days in Phase 1, counties that meet specific prerequisites may be able to enter Phase 2. Counties with more than 100 cases must have their case counts reduced to 100 cases or less per 100,000 people per week. Wider reopening includes recreational sports, venues like movie theaters, bowling alleys, and arcades, and increased in-office work. Indoor social get-togethers are capped at 10 people with physical distancing.



Phase 3

Mass gatherings such as major concerts or sporting events with live audiences will require a reliable COVID-19 treatment or vaccine.
