Operative words

This week the Washington County Board of Commissioners extended by 28 days, until October 27, the county's prior declaration of emergency... The new emergency declaration, which is the eleventh adopted by the board since the pandemic first hit, continues the same authorizations... from the prior declaration adopted on September 1. Washington County entered phase 1 on June 1 within Governor Kate Brown's reopening framework... Since that time, Washington County has not met several of the governor's criteria for progressing to phase 2.... Washington County still does not meet the in-person education requirements for counties.... Follow the statewide requirement to wear a face covering when in indoor public spaces and outdoors when six feet of distance cannot be maintained.

Notes

The County's own statement that on the last day of the third quarter of 2020 it remained in Phase 1 with no Phase 2 and that schools could not reopen in person under State metrics.
