While some states are reopening businesses or dropping mask mandates altogether, Oregon is bucking the trend — floating an idea to require masks and social distancing indefinitely.
One of the state’s top health officials wants to require masks and social distancing in all businesses indefinitely.
“We are not out of the woods yet,” said Michael Wood, administrator for the Oregon department of Occupational Safety and Health department.
