Operative words

After spikes in COVID-19 cases in several counties, Gov. Kate Brown announced a one-week statewide pause on any further reopening late Thursday, putting Multnomah County's plans to enter Phase 1 on hold for at least another week.... The County had expected to enter Phase 1 of reopening tomorrow, allowing seated service in restaurants and bars, personal services by appointment, the use of gyms and fitness centers, and gatherings of up to 25 people. The rise in cases and hospitalizations began three weeks after the state lifted restrictions on retail services May 15. Those three weeks included Memorial Day weekend and the initial reopening of every other county in the state, including Clackamas and Washington counties.
