Oregon has provided more clarity on the mask guidelines announced last week.
The Oregon Health Authority added some clarification Tuesday about new mask rules that were announced last week. As health officials announced last week, people who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to wear a mask indoors, but officials clarified that only applies in situations where individuals’ vaccination status is checked.
Fully vaccinated people are still required to wear a mask in a number of places including; health care settings, schools, and on trains, planes, and public transportation.
The new details, included in the Oregon Health Authority’s interim guidance for fully vaccinated individuals, take effect today.
