City Manager's Report: COVID-19 Update

by City Manager Robby Hammond

City Manager Robby HammondYour health and safety remain our top priority as we move forward.

We will continue to listen to health experts from Washington County and the Oregon Health Authority. We will continue to be careful and thoughtful in deciding how and when to reopen City facilities.

COVID-19 cases are rising. Washington County remains in Phase 1 and is connected with Multnomah and Clackamas counties on moving to Phase 2.

We’re glad to reopen some City facilities and services, but we must continue to help protect each other.

Our video on YouTube.com/CityofHillsboroOR shows some of the health and safety precautions we’ve taken as we reopen City facilities, including:  

Face Coverings: The State requires everyone to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces. If you visit a City facility, please wear one. We will provide a disposable covering for those without one.

Hand Sanitizer: City facilities have hand sanitizer at entrances, exits, and elevators. Please wash your hands often — and stay home if you are sick.

Physical Distancing: Signage and floor markings help everyone maintain at least six feet of distance.

PlexiGlass: In customer service areas, PlexiGlass has been added to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

To keep you informed, we created a website map with real-time info about the status of all City facilities. You can also call us at 503-681-6100.
