Rep. Greg Barreto's Newsletter

March 18, 2020

Dear Friends,    As coronavirus takes front and center stage not only in the US, but also in Oregon, I will try to keep you posted daily on what is happening at the state level both in OHA (Oregon Health Agency) as well as what the Governor is doing to curb the spread of this virus. School is out at this point for 2 weeks, large events from 250 now down to 25 have been cancelled, and some businesses are starting to shut down for an indeterminate length of time.

This has all taken place in a very short length of time and seems to be accelerating daily. When we see spontaneous responses to a potential virus outbreak, the desire to curb the spread so that hospitals and health care agencies are not overwhelmed is extremely important. But there is also an economy to be concerned with that ultimately has to pay for our existence as well as our insurance and health care costs. We should be evaluating our situation with solid, well thought out moves that cover all these concerns.  Thank you, Greg
