Oregon Lifts ‘Elective’ Surgical Ban May 1
Gov. Kate Brown has announced that provided medical providers can show they're following COVID-19 safety guidelines and their facilities are properly operated as such, non-emergency surgeries and medical procedures can resume.
This means a whole slew of medical facilities will re-start treating patients, and it includes dental offices as well.
According to reports, Brown indicated people who have been waiting for non-emergency surgeries know they not "minor."
May 1 is when the surgeries may resume. To see more on this story, click on the button below.
