Starting December 3, a new framework for COVID-19 safety measures went into affect in Oregon. The system is based on risk levels — Extreme, High, Moderate and Lower with regulations for activities based on each county’s risk level. This risk level system replaced the phased reopening framework introduced this past spring. Washington County was in Phase 1 of that framework.
Washington County—as well as other counties in the Portland Metro Region—are currently in the “Extreme Risk” category. Current risk levels >>>
As an “Extreme Risk” county, the following is guidance for Washington County as it relates to our industry:
In addition to specific regulations for businesses, face coverings are required in all public buildings and outdoor spaces where you can not maintain physical distancing from people outside your household.
Reopening some businesses does not mean back to business as usual. Large gatherings are still prohibited and residents are still being asked to stay home whenever possible.
