Oregon Announces End to COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced recently that the state’s public health emergency proclamation for COVID-19 would end effective April 1, 2022. Gov. Brown initially extended the current declaration of a public health emergency through June 30, 2022. However, due to the decline in the COVID-19 numbers, Gov. Brown declared the public health emergency would end on April 1, 2022, more than two years after it was first announced. The ending of Oregon’s public health emergency also ended COVID-19 leave benefits in the state.
Employers with employees in Oregon should be aware of the changes.
