The maskless period was short-lived, as she reimplemented the indoor mask mandate in August while going a step further, introducing an outdoor mask mandate as well. While that was lifted shortly before Thanksgiving, the indoor mask mandate remains in place in Oregon and is not set to expire until February. That is why health officials are looking to form a more \u201cpermanent set\u201d of rules for masking.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/06\/report-oregon-health-officials-drafting-more-permanent-mask-rules\/\">detailed<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"13.90625\">\n<p>Oregon still has an indoor mask requirement in place, but it is set to expire in February.&nbsp;According to <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kgw.com\/article\/news\/health\/coronavirus\/oha-drafting-new-indoor-mask-rules\/283-4092d773-8a1d-4800-96de-bc96b208701e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">KGW<\/a>, \u201cOregon health leaders wants to be able to switch to a permanent rule before then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe permanent rule can still be ended once the COVID-19 pandemic recedes to a safe level, but it can remain in place indefinitely in the meantime and won\u2019t expire prematurely while case numbers are still dangerously high,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The rule is expected to revealed in the coming weeks, followed by a public hearing in January.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Brown has repeatedly called on individuals to wear masks, as seen on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWearing a mask is not a political statement.
