“Let’s recognize the science from the CDCâ€
Update: The Governor has announced that Oregon will conform to CDC guidelines
In light of the new
Centers for Disease Control guidelines for mask wearing, Oregon House Republican Leader Christine Drazan has sent a very short, no-nonsense
letter to Governor Brown requesting that Oregon conform to the new CDC guidelines.
Dear Governor Brown,
I am writing to request that Oregon officially conforms with new CDC guidance and direction from the White House that allows fully vaccinated people to stop wearing masks.
It's time to let Oregon move forward and take a step towards normalcy. Let's recognize the science from the CDC and the announcement from the White House. I urge you to use the powers of your office to incorporate this new development into Oregon's COVID-19 policies and OSHA's new rule.
As Oregon remains one of the most masked and locked-down states, Governor Brown will surely feel some pressure to make changes.
