COVID-19 guidelines lifted as federal emergency ends in Oregon.

Oregon is lifting many COVID-19 guidelines as the federal emergency ends, including the requirement for health care workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and the five-day isolation period for those infected with COVID-19. The Oregon Health Authority says some changes will be effective Thursday, while others will take effect in the coming weeks. However, officials say COVID-19 will remain a part of our lives for years to come, so we need to continue taking steps that prevent its spread, such as staying up to date with vaccinations.
