[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Two-Week Pause on Social Activities for Certain Counties

[GILL Kuri * OPRD]

To Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board Interested Persons:

I hope that you all are doing well considering the continuing challenging times we are facing.

On Friday, November 6th, Governor Brown announced a two-week pause (from Wednesday, November 11th, through Wednesday, November 25th) on social activities for the following five counties:


  *   Jackson
  *   Malheur
  *   Marion
  *   Multnomah
  *   Umatilla

There are five other counties who are close to the COVID-19 thresholds that would necessitate adding them to the two-week pause:


  *   Baker
  *   Clackamas
  *   Linn
  *   Union
  *   Washington

For those of you who are curious about the COVID-19 thresholds, they are as follows:

The Two-Week Pause is being instituted in counties with a case rate above 200 per 100,000 people over a two-week period, or more than 60 cases over a two-week period for counties with less than 30,000 people.

According to the news release<https://www.oregon.gov/newsroom/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=37671>, the two-week pause measures include:


  *   Urging all businesses to mandate work from home to the greatest extent possible.
  *   Pausing long-term care facility visits that take place indoors to protect staff and residents.
  *   Reducing maximum restaurant capacity to 50 people (including customers and staff) for indoor dining, with a maximum party size of six. Continuing to encourage outdoor dining and take out.
  *   Reducing the maximum capacity of other indoor activities to 50 people (includes gyms, fitness organizations/studios, bowling alleys, ice rinks, indoor sports, pools, and museums).
  *   Limiting social gatherings to your household, or no more than six people if the gathering includes those from outside your household, reducing the frequency of those social gatherings (significantly in a two-week period), and keeping the same six people in your social gathering circle.

Additionally, I've attached Reopening Guidance - Specific Counties on Pause<https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le2342k.pdf>, which has been provided by the Oregon Health Authority.

Both the Governor's dedicated COVID-19 webpage<https://govstatus.egov.com/or-covid-19/> & the Oregon Health Authority's webpage<https://govstatus.egov.com/OR-OHA-COVID-19?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvqCcnqr07AIVUhh9Ch0uzAC3EAAYASAAEgJ4D_D_BwE> continue to be great resources.

I would like to wish a peaceful & reflective Veterans Day to all of you who have served our great country - thank you so much for your service!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you.
