Oregon’s Democratic Governor Kate Brown announced this week that she is extending her state of emergency declaration until March, claiming that “these are the darkest days of this pandemic.”
The declaration was set to expire on January 2, but it has now been extended sixty more days to March 3. The state of emergency declaration allows Brown to enact executive orders banning business operations and closing schools.
Brown defended her decision to extend this by citing a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state.
