Brown's recommendations, presented at a press conference on Nov. 6, include: A two-week pause on all social activities from Wednesday, Nov. 11, to Wednesday, Nov. 25, in all counties with more than 200 cases per 100,000 over a two-week period... This includes Multnomah, Marion, Umatilla, Jackson and Malheur counties.... Directing all businesses to have staff work from home to the greatest extent possible. Limiting social gatherings to your household, or no more than six people if the gathering includes those from outside your household... Halting all indoor visits to long-term care facilities. Reducing maximum restaurant capacity to 50 people (including customers and staff) for indoor dining, with a maximum party size of six.... 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). The new measures do not apply to faith-based gatherings.
