Oregon’s indoor mask mandate ends at 11:59pm on March 11. For the most part, businesses will have the option to stop requiring their customers to wear masks. There are exceptions for health care settings and public transportation, including the Portland International Airport, where masks will be required through at least April 18. We hear reflections from a number of business owners and an epidemiologist about what to expect as the state makes this change.

Our guests are Jeri McMaster, founder and owner of the Chalk School of Movement and the Power Station gyms in Hood River; Washington County Chief Epidemiologist Kim Repp; Rum Club owner Michael Shea; Kama Simonds, the media relations manager for the Port of Portland; and Anne Barwick, president of Sheridan Fruit Company, a grocery store in SE Portland.
