A series of documents obtained by The Oregonian/Oregonlive provide a peek into how Gov. Kate Brown’s office is formulating plans for a first phase of reopening certain sectors of the state’s economy.
Oregon businesses have largely been closed since Brown issued a stay-home order on March 23. State officials have said Oregon can’t remain closed forever, so they are forging a strategy so to help prevent the virus from surging as businesses restore hours and services.
The draft plans, which have already undergone many revisions and may go through more, show general guidance for Oregon employers and for the public, as well as specific guidance for certain sectors including restaurants and bars, retail stores and childcare/early education. Plans for transit, personal services and outdoor recreation are also being created.
Last week, Brown rolled out details of her “Reopening Oregon” framework, which will eventually include specific plans for testing and contact tracing, among other things. Brown also formed subcommittees to focus on details for reopening restaurants, retail, personal services, child care, transit and outdoor recreation.
The various plans for those subcommittees are being shared with leaders from the various sectors and lawmakers as the governor’s staff seeks feedback to finalize plans. It’s unclear where in the process these draft documents are.
Read the draft plan for restaurants, bars, breweries, brewpubs, wineries and tasting rooms:
State officials hope to finalize the “Reopening Oregon” framework during the week of May 4, including specific guidelines for various businesses and geographic regions as part of a three-phase plan.
Easing restrictions in place since March would be contingent on seeing declines in identified coronavirus cases and increasing the state’s capacity to test people and trace their contacts, among other things. Modeling suggests Oregon may not be able to reopen parts of its economy until late May at the earliest.
