Oregon Officials Propose Making Indoor Mask Mandate Permanent

Oregon’s health officials are moving forward with a proposal to make the state’s indoor mask mandate permanent.

The state has imposed some of the country’s most stringent COVID-19 restrictions, and is among a handful that continues to mandate masks in certain settings. An outdoor mask mandate was lifted in November 2021.

The current mandate requires anyone aged 5 or over to wear masks in all indoor public spaces, regardless of vaccination status.

But the rule is temporary and set to expire in February, prompting the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to propose making it permanent in order to allow the mandate to remain in place indefinitely. (Read more from”Oregon Officials Propose Making Indoor Mask Mandate Permanent” HERE)
