Wearing Masks Safely and Effectively
By now, we all know that wearing a face covering is a simple step you can take to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. But what you do with them after you wear them is important too.
To minimize risk of infection, wash hands before and after touching your mask, and wash cloth masks daily. After laundering, make sure your face covering is completely dry before wearing again. Masks should never be worn when wet or damp.
Latest News From the DMV
COVID-19 has impacted many of the services we are used to accessing in person, including the DMV. This past Monday, online services became available at DMV2U, enabling Oregonians to handle more of their DMV business from home. Now customers can:
- Schedule a DMV appointment
- Replace a lost, mutilated or stolen license/ID card
- Upload a commercial driver medical examiner certificate
- Order a driving record
- Pay a reinstatement fee
- Begin a driver license or identification card application for an initial issuance
If a service can be accomplished by mail or online, DMV is requiring customers to use those avenues at this time. See all the services DMV offers online at www.oregondmv.com/dmv2u.
Grace Period in Effect to October 1
A law enforcement grace period on expired licenses and vehicle registration is in effect at least through Oct. 1. The grace period is intended to allow Oregon residents to continue driving while waiting for an appointment or allow some people to delay visiting DMV while it works through the backlog due to COVID-19 restrictions. Law enforcement can verify the status of a driver or vehicle electronically during a traffic stop.
