COVID-19

Facial Covering Update

– Updated: March 3rd, 2022 –

Masks Are Still Required in Health Care Settings

When mask requirements are lifted for other indoor settings, you will still need to wear a mask in health care settings, following OAR 333-019-1011.

Masking is still required at all our health care facilities regardless of vaccination status or direct vs indirect patient contact.  You must wear a mask.  Why?

  • It is an OHA policy for health care facilities (OAR 333-019-1011) and is enforced by Oregon OSHA.
  • Breakthrough cases have and will continue to occur.
  • Omicron variant spreads more easily than the Delta variant.
  • We see many unvaccinated and/or immunocompromised patients.
