On August 20th, Oregon Wheat Growers League participated in a meeting with Oregon’s Governor to discuss efforts to reopen the economy and successfully return students to school classrooms. With an emphasis on the importance of bringing down Oregon’s positive case count per 100,000 residents, she requested support from industries and individuals throughout the state. The top actions we can take to mitigate transmission with little or no economic impacts are:
1. Compliance with wearing face coverings
2. Compliance with OSHA Guidelines for Workplaces
3. Effective Contact Tracing
4. Compliance with isolation/quarantine, including economic supports
