Operative words
Starting August 13, due to the rising COVID-19 cases, masks are required in indoor public settings in Multnomah County whether vaccinated or not.... Multnomah County commissioners Tuesday expressed support for a countywide mandate that requires all people 5 and older to mask up in indoor public spaces beginning Friday, Aug. 13.... It is the first County in Oregon to issue such an order. Any complaint will prompt the County to reach out to an individual or business and provide materials on masking along with signage for businesses to post. The County can escalate enforcement from there, with fines of up to $1,000.... Just six weeks ago, Gov. Kate Brown lifted all COVID-19 restrictions and declared the state 'reopened.'
Enforcement
Complaint-driven education, escalating to fines of up to $1,000
Notes
Records the Chair's account that the Governor had said, before changing course the same week, that 'any prevention measures would be left to local governments'; the State rule (Ex. OR-048) followed on Aug. 13.
