A
A HIGH
A HIGH TEMPERATURE YOU HAVE BIG CHANGES ROB, THANK YOU.
WELL THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION
WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEW CDC
GUIDELINES ABOUT WEARING MASKS
.
.
. THEY
. THEY SAY IF YOU'RE FULLY
VACCINATED YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WEAR ONE INSIDE OR OUT IN MOST
PLACES IT'S THAT LAST PART THAT
A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T SURE
ABOUT.
ABOUT.
ABOUT. WHAT IF YOU'RE GOING INTO A
RESTAURANT OR A STORE WHO
DECIDES THE PERSON OR THE
BUSINESS AND TO MAKE THINGS
EVEN MORE COMPLICATED, OREGON
AND WASHINGTON HAVE DIFFERENT
STATE GUIDELINES IN QUILLAYUTE
BRINIGNG CLERKLEY IS LIVE THIS
MORNING TO BREAK DOWN WHAT EACH
STATE IS DOING.
GOOD MORNING BRYANT.
GOOD MORNING BRENDA.
OREGON GOV. BROWN SAYS THE
STATE WILL FOLLOW CDC
GUIDELINES BUT THEY'RE STILL
WORKING TO UPDATE THE RULES
AND WASHINGTON GOVERNOR JAY
INSLEE SAYS IF YOU'RE FULLY
VACCINATED THEN YOU CAN GO
MASKLESS BIG STORES LIKE
COSTCO, WAL-MART AND TRADER
JOE'S PUT OUT STATEMENTS THAT
VACCINATED CUSTOMERS ARE
WELCOME TO TAKE OFF MASKS
INSIDE.
INSIDE.
INSIDE. BUT IN OREGON THE INDOOR MASK
MANDATE IS STILL IN PLACE WHEN
YOU GO INTO A BUSINESS UNTIL
THE STATE UPDATES THAT STATE
EPIDEMIOLOGIST DEAN SIDELINGER
SAID THE OREGON HEALTH
AUTHORITY WILL LIKELY REQUIRE
BUSINESSES TO CHECK FOR PROOF
OF VACCINATION.
OF VACCINATION. >> WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT AN
ESTABLISHMENT OF BUSINESS WILL
HAVE TO HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE
FOR ASKING ABOUT VACCINE STATUS
AND VERIFYING THAT KEEPING UP
WITH THE STATE GUIDELINES IN
ALL THE GRAY AREAS CAN BE
TOUGH.
TOUGH.
TOUGH. PEOPLE AND BUSINESS OWNERS BOTH
SAY THEY NEED CLARITY.
>> THAT'S KIND OF BEEN A
STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE
QUARANTINE TIME.
QUARANTINE TIME. EVERYONE GETS REALLY EXCITED
AND THEY WANT THOSE THINGS TO
HAPPEN EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
AND THEN WE LOOK LIKE THE BAD
GUY.
GUY.
GUY. WE
GUY. WE LOOK LIKE WE'RE NOT ADOPTING
THIS NEW POTENTIALLY WONDERFUL
RULE OVERALL CITIES
AND BUSINESSES CAN MAINTAIN
THOSE MAKSS REQUIREMENTS
AND MOST OF THE GROCERY STORE
CHAINS IN THE PORTLAND METRO
AREA THAT WE SPOKE TO SAY
THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP THE MASS
REQUIREMENTS FOR NOW BACK TO
YOU GUYS.
YOU GUYS.
YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT , BRIAN, THANK YOU.
>> LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES SAY
IF WE DON'T GO WITH VACCINE
PASSPORTS WE MAY HAVE TO RELY
ON AN HONOR SYSTEM WHERE FOLKS
WHO AREN'T VACCINATED DO WEAR
MASKS SO WE SPOKE WITH PEOPLE
AROUND TOWN ABOUT THIS.
SOME SAID THEY ARE WORRIED
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO AREN'T
VACCINATED GOING MASKLESS
AND BLENDING IN WITH THE CROWD
.
.
. BUT
. BUT WE
. BUT WE ALSO SPOKE TO A DOCTOR
AT OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY WHO
SAID WE SHOULD KEEP SOME
PERSPECTIVE ON THIS BECAUSE IN
REALITY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY
TRUSTING AND FORCED TO TRUST
EACH OTHER EVERY DAY IN PUBLIC.
>> SO EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE
CAR AND WE GET ON THE ROAD WITH
OTHER DRIVERS, WE'RE TRUSTING
THAT THEY'RE NOT IMPAIRED OR
DISTRACTED.
DISTRACTED. THE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT WHEN
PEOPLE ARE OVERWHELMED AND WHEN
PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED THEY REVERT
BACK TO BEHAVIORS THAT THEY
KNOW AND THAT FEEL SAFE AGAIN.
>> THAT WAS DR. HUFF WITH
OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY THERE.
SHE ALSO ADDED THAT AT LEAST
THE SHORT TERM SHE THINKS
PEOPLE ARE LIKELY TO KEEP
WEARING MASKS EVEN IF THEY
DON'T HAVE TO.
