Two-Week Statewide Freeze
From November 18 to December 2, Oregon will be in a statewide Two-Week Freeze to stop the rapid spread of COVID-19 across Oregon. These risk reduction measures are critical in limiting the spread of COVID-19, reducing risk in communities more vulnerable to serious illness and death, and helping conserve hospital capacity so that all Oregonians can continue to have access to quality care.
Social Gatherings
Limited to no more than 6 people total, from no more than 2 households – indoor and outdoor
Limited faith-based organizations to a maximum of 25 people indoors or 50 people outdoors
No Indoor visitation in long-term care facilities
Businesses
Work from home to the greatest extent possible and close offices to the public
Restaurants are delivery and take-out only
Grocery stores and pharmacies are limited to 75% capacity and should encourage curbside pick up

Personal services (such as barber shops, hair salons, and non-medical massage therapy), congregate homeless sheltering, outdoor recreation and sports, youth programs, childcare, K-12 schools, K-12 sports currently allowed, current Division 1 and professional athletics exemptions, and higher education — all of which can continue operating under previous guidance issued by the Oregon Health Authority.
Face Coverings Required Statewide
Masks are required statewide for people age 5 and older in:
- All workplaces, indoor public spaces, public and private colleges and universities, and indoor and outdoor markets.

Situation in Jackson County, OR
Notes
1) This includes cases confirmed by diagnostic testing and presumptive cases. Presumptive cases are those without a positive test who present COVID-19-like symptoms and had close contact with a confirmed case. Antibody test results are not included in our data.
2) Active Infections: This number will demonstrate the case population that is currently shedding the virus that might infect other people. Someone who was symptomatic is considered no longer contagious when it has been 10 days from their symptom onset, and they have been without a fever and without the use of fever reducing medication, and have had improving cough, shortness of breath, or diarrhea for 24 hours. If the person was never symptomatic, they are considered no longer contagious 10 days after the first specimen that tested positive was collected.
3) COVID-19 Prevalence – Updated once a week
