The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached the U.S. state of Oregon on February 28, 2020. On that day, Governor Kate Brown created a coronavirus response team; on March 8 she declared a state of emergency; and on March 23 she issued a statewide stay-at-home order with class C misdemeanor charges for violators. In April 2020, Oregon joined Washington and California in the Western States Pact, an agreement to coordinate the restarting of economic activity while controlling the outbreak. By the end of June 2020, Governor Brown announced that face masks would be required indoors, effective July 1. Economic impacts of COVID-19 in Oregon included stock market losses for major companies, reduced airline flights, losses for the food and entertainment industries, and closures of libraries and museums. In early March 2020, universities and K–12 schools closed statewide, and began providing online instruction.
