Greetings!
The state announced a face shield update, effective 10/19: Oregon Health Authority now recommends wearing a face covering/mask instead of a face shield (except in limited situations when a face shield by itself is appropriate, like talking to someone who is Deaf or hard of hearing and needs to read lips to communicate). People with a disability or medical condition may request accommodation from the business if they cannot wear one.
Read the full updated guidance HERE!

Have a successful, safe, and healthy week!
