Oregon will scrap its mask mandate for indoor public places and schools by March 31, the Oregon Health Authority announced on Monday.

Citing declining COVID-19 infections in the state, health officials said it is expected that by late March, 400 or fewer Oregonians would be hospitalized with COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
