COVID-19 & Back to school

Oregon schools prioritize limiting virus spread. For 2022-23, schools will follow health and safety recommendations and requirements, including vaccination, masks, physical distancing, ventilation, handwashing, and staying home when sick. Vaccination (6 months+) and masks in indoor settings are key for safety. Monkeypox risk in schools is low; those diagnosed should stay home. Anyone can get monkeypox, though it's currently spreading among men who have sex with men. Contact OHA for accessibility needs.
