APRIL 21, 2022 UPDATE ON MASK MANDATES

On Saturday, March 12, Oregon’s statewide mask mandate was lifted. Businesses throughout Newberg are excited to welcome you with smiling faces and to see yours! 

According to the Oregon Health Authority, businesses may implement their own policies to protect staff members, customers, and visitors, including requiring masks and proof of vaccination, in compliance with Americans with Disability Act guidelines and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Some businesses and employers may choose to retain these policies for the indefinite future. Mask and vaccine policies vary, so we encourage you to call or message before you plan your trip so that you can have the most enjoyable visit possible.  We ask for your patience and kindness during these challenging times.  Many of our businesses are facing unprecedented labor shortages, are busy training new staff, and readjusting to often-changing dynamics caused by the pandemic. When you’re ready to visit, all of us in the Newberg hospitality community are looking forward to seeing you in Newberg wine country.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION STATEMENT 

As the organization devoted to welcoming visitors and promoting the destination of Newberg, Oregon, Taste Newberg would like to express our unwavering support for equity and inclusion. We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity, and we want to emphasize that all are welcome here. There is no place for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, hate, or other discrimination in the travel industry.

AUGUST 27, 2021 UPDATE ON COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

Effective Friday, August 27, Governor Brown has implemented new statewide outdoor mask requirements to help stop the spread of the highlight contagious Delta variant. Masks will be required in most public outdoor settings, including large outdoor events, where physical distancing is not possible, and regardless of vaccination status. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) also strongly recommends masking for outdoor gatherings at private residences when individuals from different households do not consistently maintain physical distance. The rule does not apply to fleeting encounters, such as two individuals walking by one another on a trail or in a park. Some exceptions apply (e.g. eating, drinking, swimming).

AUGUST 13, 2021 UPDATE ON COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

Effective August 13, a statewide indoor mask requirement went into effect, to address the spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations being driven by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant. Bring your mask to Newberg regardless of your vaccination status. We recommend that all visitors check in advance regarding individual business policies for group size, reservations, vaccination requirements, physical distancing, and venue capacity.
