(THE BLAZE) – Oregon lifted the face mask mandate for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but also implemented a stipulation that a business or church must require maskless entrants to show proof of their coronavirus vaccination. The business or house of worship must then review the vaccination card to ensure that it is authentic.
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that fully vaccinated Americans could go maskless outdoors and in most indoor settings. On Tuesday, the Oregon Health Authority updated its mask guidelines.
"All businesses, employers and faith institutions are required to continue to apply and enforce the mask, face covering and face shield guidance, and physical distancing requirements in state COVID-19 guidance to all individuals," the guidance states. The business, employer, and faith institution can allow individuals without face masks and not enforce social distancing if the institution has a "policy for checking for proof of vaccination status of individuals."
