Brown Says Oregon Will Follow CDC Guidance

Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced the state will follow guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention easing indoor mask-wearing and social distancing for fully vaccinated people.  Brown said in a video statement Thursday that the new CDC guidance means Oregonians who are fully-vaccinated no longer need to wear masks or social distance in most public spaces.  She also said the guidance makes clear that vaccines are the fastest way to get back to a sense of normalcy.  The federal guidance issued Thursday still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters.  Brown added mask requirements also will remain in place in Oregon schools this school year.  She says the Oregon Health Authority in coming days will provide updated guidance for businesses.
