Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said ahead of Thanksgiving that people in her state should call the police if they find out their neighbors are violating the latest public health restrictions, which includes lowering the number of people at private gatherings to six.

“Look, this is no different than what happens if there’s a party down the street and it’s keeping everyone awake,” Brown said Friday when asked by a reporter from KGW if she wants people calling the police on their neighbors.
