The days of being required to wear mask indoors, including for children at school, are expected to end next month with an announcement Monday from the Oregon Health Authority.
The state agency said that the mask mandate would be lifted by no later than March 31, with the exact date based on expected declines in hospitalizations.
Masks are required in most indoor settings, such as grocery stores and entertainment venues. School employees and children are also required to be masked while inside school buildings.
