State officials refused applications by Marion and Polk counties to begin reopening, due to concerns that hospitalizations had increased in the Salem area. 

The three central counties in the Portland metro area, Washington and Clackamas counties, have not applied to reopen.

Retail businesses like boutiques, furniture stores and art galleries throughout the state will be allowed to reopen Friday, regardless of a county’s status.

Restaurants and bars can open for sit-down services with restrictions including being closed by 10 p.m. Barbers and hair salons may open with restrictions. Gatherings of up to 25 people will be allowed. Gyms may open though under Kate Browns guidelines, pools, spas and showers remain closed.

Lane County Blueprint for Reopening. Download a Copy Here

The reopening comes amid the Lane County Commission May 13, 4-1 vote to extend the public health emergency for COVID-19 by 60 days.  Prior to this extension, the emergency in Lane County was set to expire on May 16th.  Jay Bozievich the lone dissenter stated, “I want to express some of my misgivings about the extension for a full 60 days,” Bozievich said. “We have to think about how long we are going to be under a constant state of emergency.” He went on to express his concern about the uncertainty faced by hospitals due to a decrease in non-coronavirus care, while advocating for a 30-day extension instead.

The Public Health spokesperson stated that the 60-day extension accounts for the 21-day periods between reopening phases under the governor’s plan for reopening Oregon.
