Through much of the
weekend, the governor had
been resisting issuing a state-
wide stay-home order. Pres-
sure mounted as local govern-
ment officials in the Portland
metro and Eugene-Spring-
field areas urged her to issue
such a statewide order. The
city of Portland was prepared
• Furniture stores
• Gyms and fitness studios, including
climbing gyms
• Indoor party places, including jumping
gyms and laser tag
• Jewelry shops and boutiques unless
they provide goods exclusively through
pick-up or delivery
to do so on its own.
In explaining Monday’s
order, Brown told reporters:
“I wanted to make sure that
we had an executive order
that worked for all of Ore-
gon. That we could ensure
that Oregonians in very rural
communities of the state,
like Adel and Ontario, could
• Museums
• Nail and tanning salons
• Senior activity centers
• Ski resorts
• Social and private clubs
• Tattoo/piercing parlors
• Tennis clubs
• Theaters
• Yoga studios
• Youth clubs
comply as well as folks in
metropolitan areas.”
She said she also wanted
an order that could be sus-
tained for a longer term: “For
example, maybe more than a
few weeks.”
Brown said she expects
the Legislature to hold a
special session in the next
week or so in response to the
pandemic.
A legislative committee
on Monday was working on
proposals. “It is important we
do things on a statewide level
so we not move the problem
around to different places,”
said co-chair Sen. Arnie
Roblan, D-Coos Bay.

Prairie City Superinten-
dent Casey Hallgarth said
that all the superintendents
in the county are on the

this is a unique situation
because this has never hap-
pened before with schools
closing for a pandemic.
“We’re trying our best,
but right now no one,
including Oregon Depart-
ment of Education and
Gov. Brown, have any
answers, and that’s to
be expected because we
have never dealt with this
before,” Hallgarth said.
With plans in devel-

how the educational needs
of students will be met.
