This new rule does not change any of the guidelines that Outfitter Guides have been working under (https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le2342E.pdf and https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/forms-library/Documents/Outfitter%20Guide/Best%20Practices%20for%20Outfitter%20Guides.pdf).

Be aware that there will be more public scrutiny of your PPE with the governor’s efforts to reduce the rising number of COVID cases.

• Half of all cases in Oregon are from people under the age of 40 and one third of all cases are from people under the age of 30.

• Currently, people in their 20s and 30s are the most likely group to get sick with COVID-19.

Please re-evaluate your activities and see if you may need to scale back some activities where you may not be able to be to keep your clients and yourself as safe as you possibly can.

Stay safe –
