Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If I visit Portland from out of state, do I need to self-quarantine?

No. The previous statewide travel advisory recommending a 14-day quarantine for non-vaccinated travelers has been lifted.

What is currently open in Portland?

While most COVID restrictions have been lifted in Oregon, individual businesses, restaurants, stores and attractions determine their own operating strategies; please check with specific businesses before visiting.

Do I have to wear a face mask in Portland?

The statewide mask mandate has been lifted. However, masks are still required in healthcare settings and are recommended on public transportation, including buses, trains, airplanes, and airports.

In addition, businesses may determine their own operating procedures, and some may continue to require masks and/or proof of vaccination. We recommend checking with individual businesses before visiting and carrying a mask with you, just in case.

Check out the Oregon Health Authority website for more information.

Are Portland restaurants open for sit-down dining?

Yes. Restaurants can open for indoor and outdoor dining at full capacity. We recommend checking restaurants’ hours of operation as well as health and safety protocols before visiting.

What events are happening this week/month/season in Portland?

With COVID restrictions being lifted, events are starting to take place again, often with social distancing and safety measures in place. Check out our event calendar to find upcoming events, and be sure to check individual event websites for the latest details.

What Portland hotels are open now?

Hotels are open for lodging but may offer limited facilities and services, so check with the individual location for details.

Are social distancing restrictions in effect in Portland?

Social distancing restrictions have been lifted in Portland and the rest of Oregon.

Is proof of vaccination required for fully vaccinated travelers?

Some local establishments require proof of vaccination as a condition of entry (either the vaccination card itself or a photo of the vaccination card). We encourage fully vaccinated travelers to be prepared with this information if applicable. See a running list of restaurants and bars requiring proof of vaccination.
