BUSINESSES Businesses are required to: • Require employees, con- tractors and volunteers to wear a mask, face shield, or face covering, unless an ac- commodation or exemption is required by law or the fol- lowing exemption applies: • Employees, contractors and volunteers: Masks, face shields or face coverings are not required when eating/ drinking or when at or in a location where the employ- ee, contractor or volunteer is not interacting with the public and six or more feet of distance can be main- tained from other people. • Provide masks, face shields or face coverings for employees. • If it is a transit agency, require riders to wear at least face coverings, though masks and face shields may also be worn, and provide one for a rider that does not have one, except for individ- uals who by law require an accommodation or exemp- tion, and children under age two. • Provide accommoda- tions and exemptions from the mask, face shield, or face covering requirement for employees, contractors and volunteers if such accom- modations or exemptions are required by: • State and federal dis- abilities laws if applicable, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which protects people with disabilities from discrimina- tion in employment and re- quires employers to engage in the interactive process for accommodations. • State or federal labor laws where applicable. • State and federal public accommodations laws that provide all persons with full and equal access to services, transportation, and facilities open to the public. • OHA public health guidance if applicable. If customers or visitors will be required to wear a mask, face shield or face covering: • Post clear signs about any such requirements. • Provide accommoda- tions and exceptions for: — People with disabilities and medical conditions — Children under 12 years of age (except public transit, see below) Review and require em- ployees, contractors and volunteers to review “OHA’s Mask and Face Covering Guidance for Business, Transit, and the Public Fre- quently Asked Questions” to learn about how requiring people to wear face cover- ings affects people different- ly including people with dis- abilities and people of color who may have heightened concerns about racial pro- filing and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public. Additionally, a business should, but is not required to: • Provide, at no cost, at least disposable face cover- ings for customers or visi- tors who do not have one. • Post signs about any mask, face shield or face coverings requirement in languages that are common- ly spoken by customers and visitors. • Educate employees: • On how to safely work and communicate with peo- ple who cannot wear masks, face shields, or face cover- ings. • That they may need to remove a mask or face cov- ering while communicat- ing with an individual who needs to read lips or see fa- cial expressions to commu- nicate. THE PUBLIC When riding public tran- sit, an individual must wear a mask, face shield, or face covering unless the individ- ual: • Is under two years of age. • Has a medical condition that makes it hard to breathe when wearing a mask, face shield, or face covering. • Has a disability that pre- vents the individual from wearing a mask, face shield, or face covering. It is strongly recommend- ed that individuals, includ- ing children between 2 and 12 years of age, wear a mask, face shield, or face cover- ing at all times in all indoor public places particularly in places where it is likely that physical distancing of at least six feet from other individuals outside their household unit cannot be maintained at all times and vulnerable people must go. Because children be- tween the ages of two and 12 years of age can have challenges wearing a mask, face shield, or face covering properly (e.g., excessively touching the face covering, not changing the face cov- ering if visibly soiled, risk of strangulation or suffo- cation, etc.) it is urged that if masks, face shields or face coverings are worn by this age group, that they be worn with the assistance and close supervision of an adult. Masks, face shields or face coverings should never be worn by children when sleeping. The use of mask, face shield, or face covering may be optional if six feet or more of distance is main- tained from others. Oth- erwise, it is recommended to wear mask, face shield, or face covering in pub- lic settings where physical distancing cannot be main- tained. There may be mask, face shield, and face covering re- quirements and recommen- dations that apply to other A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town.

RV SE One of the main differ- ences between legislators is based around Brown’s hope that there will be addition- al money coming from the federal government to allow for more money to be allo- cated to all state agencies. According to Brown, “I expect to call a second spe- cial session later in the sum- mer to rebalance our state’s budget. In the meantime, I will continue pressing U.S. Congress to support the state and local governments that are reeling from the economic downturn. Un- less the federal government takes action, states like Ore- gon could be forced to make significant cuts to schools, health care, and senior ser- vices.” She said in the meantime, she will finalize $150 mil- lion from general fund sav- ings “to put Oregon’s budget on better footing.” She plans to announce this by the end of next week. The issues raised by vi- olent police encounters nationwide was one of the main reasons cited by Brown in her announce- ment of the special session. There have been a number of bills introduced this week that attempt to address poli- cies and reporting. The introduction of H.B. 4201 is a major modifica- tion of the reporting pro- cedures expected of police departments. If passed, it would require law enforce- ment agencies to notify the attorney general when a police officer uses physical force resulting in death or qualifying physical injury. Further, the bill requires the attorney general to appoint a special investigator to lead an investigation upon re- ceipt of notification. It also directs the attorney general to prosecute violations of law related to use of phys- ical force and to release re- ports from the investigation if criminal proceedings are not initiated. In addition, H.B. 4205 would require departments adopt policies requiring officers to stop another po- lice officer from engaging in unethical or illegal acts and H.B. 4207 establishes a statewide database of police (54 POLICIES from page 1A businesses not listed in this guidance. For a business that is not listed as a busi- ness in this guidance, the business should review oth- er applicable sector guid- ance for mask, face shield, face covering requirements and recommendations.
