Oregon officials plan to lift the state’s indoor mask requirement “no later than” March 31, 2022, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) announced on Monday, amid its recent decision to give the “temporary” indoor masking rule for schools “permanent” status.
“Oregon will remove general mask requirements for indoor public places no later than March 31, state health officials announced today,” a February 7 bulletin reads, noting that health officials say individuals must remain masked for now “as COVID-19 hospitalizations crest and Oregon’s health care system strains to treat high numbers of severely ill patients.”
This coming change coincides with officials changing the state’s school masking rule from temporary to permanent, forcing students to mask “unless the State Public Health Director or State Public Health Officer issues an order stating that the some or all requirements in this rule are no longer necessary to control COVID-19.”
