Closed Businesses
Businesses in Oregon must close in specified industries, ranging from hair salons to furniture stores to social clubs. (Please contact us for the complete list.) Restaurants, bars and coffee shops remain closed except for takeout or delivery service. All otherwise permitted retail businesses are required to designate someone to establish and enforce social distancing policies.
Business Offices
Work in business offices is only permitted if telework and work-at-home options are not available--in light of position duties, availability of teleworking equipment and networking adequacy. Such business offices must designate someone to establish and enforce social distancing policies.
Childcare Facilities
Childcare facilities can only stay open if they have groups of no more than 10 children in the same group each day, and prioritize the childcare needs of first responders, emergency workers and healthcare professionals.
Medical, Dental and Veterinary Clinics
All elective and non-urgent medical procedures that utilize Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)--including procedures at health, dental and veterinary clinics--must be cancelled or rescheduled to a date no earlier than June 15, 2020.
Penalties
Failure to comply with the "Stay Home" or "PPE" orders constitutes a Class C misdemeanor, with penalties of up to 30 days in jail, a $1,250 fine, or both. Oregon has established an online reporting process wherein employees can submit complaints about their employers online to Oregon’s Occupational Safety and Health Division.
