​With Oregon's recent announcement lifting all Coronavirus restrictions, the City of Salem will open all in-person services July 19, 2021. City buildings, previously closed or modified, will re- open to the public on or before July 19, 2021, including Salem's Civic Center, Municipal Court lobby, Salem Police Department lobby, Center 50 + and the Salem Public Library.

Per the Governor's executive order rescinding the wearing of masks and social distancing, all City employees and guests, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, are free to remove their facial coverings in City buildings. Hand sanitizer will be available. Employees and guests should continue to self-monitor regularly for signs of illness. Some city departments, including, Public Works, Fire, and Public Safety had provided some in-person services throughout the lock-down, other staff and programs delivered services only virtually.

"After 15 months, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back to City Hall on-site and in- person." said City Manager Steve Powers.
