The state of Oregon is implementing a 2 week “freeze” beginning tomorrow to slow the spread of COVID-19.  New measures are to:

  • Limit social gatherings to 6 people total, no more than two households (indoor and outdoor). Faith based organizations maximum of 25 people indoor and 50 outdoor
  • No indoor visitation in long-term care facilities
  • Work from home to the greatest extent possible
  • Restaurants are delivery and take-out only
  • Gyms and fitness centers Must Close

Please do your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a face covering in public and at work.  Maintain 6 feet of social distance from others especially if someone does not have a mask on.  Wash your hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer.  It’s especially important to clean your hands before going in or coming out of a store or any building or even your home.  And disinfect frequently touched hard surfaces like door knobs, faucets, counters, bathrooms and light switches.
