COVID-19 Update

– Updated: July 11th, 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)
• 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
