Aaron Corvin, a public information officer for the Oregon OSHA, told the
Washington Examiner that the state has not predefined the complex algorithm that would be required to trigger the repeal, but it will be looking at multiple factors. Trying to go the predefined route, given the fluid nature of what we’re dealing with, could set up a situation of repealing too soon or too far down the road, Corvin said.
The Oregon OSHA will meet with several committees at least every two months beginning in July to assess the rules and determine whether the state is meeting undefined criteria for rescission.
As more states push to fully open, Oregon tightens restrictions and issues indefinite mask mandate

As states try to balance the line between personal freedom and safety, 17 states have moved to lift all of their mask mandates in an effort to return to normal, while four states only require masks for certain industry employees.
But as those states move to open more businesses, Oregon is moving in the other direction. On Friday, it raised its COVID-19 security level in 15 counties from high to extreme, its highest level. The measures include no indoor dining, limited outdoor capacity at bars and restaurants, and an indefinite mask mandate that would require people to wear them until the state decides otherwise.
Mid-Willamette Valley business owners said theyâre frustrated by the stateâs COVID-19 restrictions, calling them arbitrary, too strict, confusing and at times contradictory.
Restaurants in downtown Albany could reopen at 25% capacity or a 50-person limit, whichever is smaller, starting on Friday, but North Albany eateries a mile away in the same city had to remain closed for indoor dining. Thatâs because downtown Albany is in Linn County, which dropped to the stateâs high risk category for the first time since November, while Benton County stayed at extreme risk.
âEverybody knows that the Willamette River stops the coronavirus,â quipped Kevin Fujikawa, the owner of Frankieâs Restaurant in North Albany.
