Operative words

Face coverings required: Face coverings are required at PDX, except for children under the age of 2 and people with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing a face covering.... Picking someone up? If you are picking up a passenger, wait for them outside. We're limiting the number of people inside the terminal to minimize congestion.... While the airport remains open and operational, a number of shops, restaurants and airport services remain closed.... The Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler Enrollment Center at PDX has suspended operations until at least September 8.... the B/C security checkpoint will only be open from 5:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.... The Portland Airport station on the MAX Red Line is closed from March 29 to August 1.... TriMet does require passengers to wear face coverings.... The U.S.-Canadian border is closed to all non-essential travel at this time.

Enforcement

Airport rules (Port staff approach unmasked persons and provide coverings); TSA and airline rules

Notes

The airport-operator layer for the Portland metro: face coverings mandatory from summer 2020, terminal access limited to travelers, shops and restaurants closed. Also records the State positions that 'Oregon and Washington state do not require those entering the state to self-quarantine' and Alaska's 72-hour test rule.
