Update on COVID 19 - Stay Home, Save Lives
Executive Order 20-12, from Governor Kate Brown, and a very similar Executive Order from Governor Jay Inslee, directs everyone in out states to stay at home to the maximum extent possible and adds to the list of businesses that will be temporarily closed to stem the spread of COVID-19.
