(CNS News) In an update to its “official masking guidance,” the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) said that businesses, employers, and churches may allow fully vaccinated persons to not wear masks in their establishments but, if they do that, the establishments must have a system in place to check the vaccination status of the persons, essentially a vaccine passport-type system.

The council passed the ordinance by a slim 4-3 margin along party lines. The measure would have applied solely to unincorporated areas of the county for grocery stores with 500 or more employees worldwide. Convenience stores, food marts, and farmers’ markets would have been exempted. “These workers have been on the frontlines for the last year and it has not been easy,” said County Councilmember Jani Hitchen, one of the co-sponsors of the bill. “While the proposed additional pay won’t make their jobs easier, it provides much-needed compensation for the hazards of working while facing significant exposure to COVID-19.”
