Visiting Portland Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic

Per current CDC guidelines, a quarantine period is unnecessary for fully vaccinated travelers. For non vaccinated travelers, a 14-day quarantine is recommended under a statewide travel advisory .

Here’s a list of attractions that are currently open.

Multnomah County (where Portland is located) is in the “high risk” category. At this risk level, the following businesses are allowed to operate, with conditions and limits:
– restaurants for delivery, take-out and limited indoor and outdoor dining (limited to 25% capacity);
– salons, massage parlors and non-medical spas;
– retail stores, farmers’ markets, groceries and pharmacies (limited to 50% capacity);
– indoor and outdoor malls and businesses within malls (limited to 50% capacity);
– indoor fitness and recreation facilities (limited to 25% capacity);
– outdoor fitness, recreation and entertainment establishments such as zoos, pools, gardens, parks, etc. (limited to 15% capacity); and
– indoor entertainment establishments such as theaters, arenas, concert halls, museums, etc. (limited to 25% capacity or 50 people, whichever is smaller).

Indoor gatherings are limited to no more than six people total, from no more than two households. Outdoor social gatherings can include up to eight people.

Note: Individual businesses, restaurants, stores and attractions are determining their own operating strategies during the pandemic; please check with specific businesses before visiting.

Yes. Masks are currently required statewide at all times unless you are:

– at your own residence;
– in your own personal vehicle;
– under five (5) years of age;
– eating or drinking;
– engaged in an activity that makes wearing a mask, face covering or face shield not feasible, such as when taking a shower;
– sleeping;
– in a private, individual workspace; or
– removing the mask briefly because your identity needs to be confirmed by visual comparison, such as at a bank or if interacting with law enforcement

Restaurants can offer limited indoor and outdoor on-site seating, in addition to takeout and delivery.

For more information, see the “High Risk” guidelines and statewide guidance.

Large gatherings are prohibited, so no in-person events are being held at this time. Previously scheduled events and festivals are canceled, postponed or being held virtually. Please check individual event websites for the latest details.

This information is changing rapidly; for the latest, we recommend using Google to search for “Portland hotels.” Also note that at some hotels which are open for lodging, facilities and services may be limited, so check with the individual location for details.

We don’t yet know when physical/social distancing restrictions will be lifted in Portland.
