State lifts COVID-19 response measures as federal emergency ends
State health officials lifted a number of measures that helped protect people from COVID-19 infection and expanded access to services during the heights of the pandemic. Oregon Health Authority (OHA) with the Oregon Department of Human Services and other state agencies held a media availability Wednesday, May 10 to discuss these changes.
The changes affect a wide range of programs and services. OHA's May 10 news release and fact sheet contain a summary of these changes. Some changes take effect May 11, and others will take effect in the coming weeks. Other changes put in place during the COVID-19 emergency will continue after the end of the federal emergency.
Highlights of the changes resulting from the ending of the federal public health emergency include: vaccination requirements; exposure and isolation guidance; school testing for students and staff; COVID-19 reporting; and health care coverage.
