"Stay Home, Save Lives"
Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order on March 23, 2020 for Oregonians to stay home. The Governor wants people to only travel when it is absolutely necessary. The Governor has listed when it is okay to travel, like going out for medical needs and/or going to the grocery store. The less we travel the more we keep each other safe. Remember, right now we want to decrease the spread of the virus and keep ourselves healthy.
Many more businesses are now closed. When possible, people are working from home and keeping a safe distance from one another, just like the Community Pathways staff. Check with your employer to find out if you are considered an essential employee and are still required to go into work. If you need help having this conversation with your employer, please let your Personal Agent know.
Things in your life might be changing because of the Coronavirus. We want to hear from you. Keep your Personal Agent up to date as your needs change. Reach out to your providers. We know staying home is hard. We are in it with you.
You can find more details about what it means to “minimize your travel” in the official Executive Order.
