Starting Nov. 18, I'm instituting a statewide Two-Week Freeze to give Oregon a fighting chance to stop this alarming spike in COVID-19 cases. This is hard. But we are trying to stop this deadly virus from spreading, to save lives. Oregon, we can do this. https://t.co/JczzNYsRGT

Governor Brown’s four-week freeze in Multnomah County starting Nov. 18 is necessary for our safety. Oregon is facing its highest rates of COVID-19 ever, and our county is driving the increase. These guidelines will help keep ourselves, our loved ones and our communities safe.

Given the case counts we are seeing, hotspot counties like Multnomah County will need longer––at least 4 weeks, if not more––to stop COVID-19 from spreading in order to preserve hospital capacity and save lives. https://t.co/TXS5fhpbjq

COVID-19 does not stop at state lines. Our hospitals are being stretched to capacity.

✅ Against non-essential out-of-state travel

We believe in the power of individual responsibility, and we need it now more than ever. Working together – as neighbors, as North Dakotans, as human beings who care deeply for each other – we can slow the spread of COVID-19 and emerge stronger than ever. https://t.co/IaRhp4HZdj
