In a statement Saturday night, Gov. Kate Brown reminded Oregonians of the benefits of avoiding crowds and taking other “social distancing” measures.
“We must all do what we can to slow the spread of this disease: avoid large events, follow social distancing protocols, and, above all, stay home when sick,” Brown said in her statement.
