US: Oregon to end COVID-19 nearly all restrictions statewide by June 30 /update 35
Officials in Oregon, US, to end most COVID-19 restrictions across the state by June 30 due to vaccination progress, decreased viral spread.
Event
Authorities in Oregon will end nearly all statewide COVID-19-related restrictions effective June 30 given the state's current vaccination rate along with significantly lower daily caseloads over a sustained period. Beyond that date, only certain mask-wearing requirements and other protocols will continue in settings such as on public transport and in healthcare facilities in accordance with federal guidelines; mask-wearing will also remain mandatory in places under federal jurisdiction where such orders have not yet expired.
Authorities could reimpose or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Monitor local media and liaise with trusted contacts for updates. Heed the directives of local authorities.
