COLUMBIA, South Carolina — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has issued an executive order allowing parents to opt their children out of wearing masks in public schools.
SALEM, Ore. â Oregonâs government has set vaccination targets that officials hope will lead to the reopening of the stateâs economy.
Gov. Kate Brown said Tuesday most statewide pandemic restrictions will be lifted when 70% of Oregonâs residents 16 and older get the first coronavirus vaccine dose. In addition, individual counties can move into the âlower riskâ category for restrictions once 65% of the areaâs eligible population is vaccinated.
Currently, 35% of Oregonâs people are fully vaccinated.
Brown cautions that Oregon may continue to require the use of masks and physical distancing.
Just last month, the governor put 15 Oregon counties into the âextreme riskâ category that bans indoor dining and significantly reduces gym and indoor entertainment capacities due to increasing COVID-19 cases.
