Face Covering Requirements Begin Today

June 24, 2020

Governor Brown announced last Wednesday, June 17, 2020 that she is instituting a requirement to wear face coverings while in indoor public spaces. This includes businesses such as grocery stores, gyms and fitness studios, pharmacies, public transit agencies, personal services providers, restaurants and bars, retail stores, shopping malls, ride-sharing services, and more.
Children under 12 years of age, as well as people with a disability or a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a face covering, are not required to wear one.

The CDC has helpful information about how to wear a face covering and how to make one out of everyday items you may have in your home. You can also receive a free facemask here.

Ways to Help During COVID-19
The impacts of COVID-19 have many county residents and families experiencing hardship, leading to a range of needs for both food and non-food items such as hygiene, cleaning, and childcare supplies.

In response to the growing requests and needs in our community, the Clackamas County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) hopes to leverage organizations already managing donation collection and distribution through a coordinated system that will help meet the needs of our most vulnerable populations.
