Governor Brown Tightens Social Distancing Measures, Tells Oregonians to “Stay Home, Save Lives”

Today Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order that included new prohibitions on non-essential social and recreational gatherings, shopping at certain businesses, playground and sport court closures, and new guidelines for childcare facilities. It also requires businesses not closed by the order to implement social distancing policies in order to remain open and requires workplaces to implement teleworking and work-at-home options when possible. The order only permits activities outside the home when social distance is maintained.

A short description of what’s allowed and not allowed as well as today’s press release can be found on Governor Brown’s COVID-19 webpage.
