Governor Kate Brown extended her declaration of a state of emergency regarding COVID-19 for an additional 60 days, until September 4. The state of emergency was set to expire on July 6. Moving forward, the Governor will review and reevaluate each of her emergency orders every 60 days, to determine whether those orders should be continued, modified, or rescinded.
