PREVENTION INFORMATION |
Stay home. Save lives.
Effective on March 24, 2020, Oregon Governor Kate Brown is requiring people to stay home except for essential needs. The intent of Executive Order 20-12 is to ensure the maximum number of people self-isolate in their places of residence to the maximum extent feasible.
We encourage everyone to make use of technology (FaceTime, video calls, and other tools) to stay in touch with loved ones.

We recommend all residents take everyday precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory illness, including while they are at home:
