North Central Public Health District says it will lift statewide mask requirements on April 3 along with other healthcare facilities in Oregon.  The state has left it up to local entities to decide whether they will continue, modify, or lift their mask policies.  NCPHD officials say they will support any member of the public who wishes to continue masking for their own comfort level, adding those who visit their office will be asked to wear a mask if they are coughing or otherwise appear to be ill.  The state announced the change in requirements in early March, giving healthcare facilities time to update their own masking policies.  The state decided to lift the mask mandate because cases of COVID-19, flu and RSV were dropping.  NCPHD officials say people at higher risk for severe disease, or who live with someone at higher risk, should still consider wearing masks in health care or any settings, to better protect themselves and those most vulnerable around them.
