COVID-19 Updates – AVA and Albany businesses

Travel industry updated 09/07/2021

Masks required in Oregon indoors and outdoors.

Governor Brown stated that effective Friday, August 27, masks will be required in all public outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status. Oregon Health Authority (OHA) also strongly recommends masking for outdoor gatherings at private residences when individuals from different households do not consistently maintain physical distance. The OHA rule went into effect Friday, August 27, 2021

We encourage visitors to be patient, flexible and kind – and mask up if asked to do so, fully vaccinated or not.
