(1) The
			 circumstances surrounding bites of humans by mammals shall be investigated by
			 the local public health administrator in accordance with the Investigative
			 Guidelines published by the Authority.
(2) Except as provided in section (3) of this
			 rule, any dog, cat, or ferret that has bitten a person shall be held for
			 observation until the 10th day following the bite. This observation shall be
			 under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian or other person designated by
			 the local public health administrator. Animals shall be held within an
			 enclosure or with restraints deemed adequate by the local public health
			 administrator to prevent contact with any person or other animals. At the
			 discretion of the local public health administrator, properly vaccinated dogs
			 used by public law enforcement agencies may be exempted from the observation
			 period requirement; however, any law enforcement agency shall notify the local
			 public health administrator immediately should any exempted dog develop
			 abnormal behavior within 10 days of biting a person.
(3) The local public health administrator may
			 order the euthanasia and rabies testing of animals that have bitten humans when
			 these animals are:
(a) Inadequately
			 vaccinated dogs, cats, or ferrets that have inflicted an unprovoked bite to the
			 face, head, or neck of a person; or
(b) Any other mammal suspected of having
			 rabies or that has been in contact with an animal suspected of having

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 333 - OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY, PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION › Division 19 - INVESTIGATION AND CONTROL OF DISEASES: GENERAL POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES › Section 333-019-0027 - Management of Possibly Rabid Animals

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) An animal is considered to have been in
			 close contact with an animal suspected of having rabies when, within the past
			 180 days, it has been bitten, mouthed, mauled by, or closely confined with a
			 rabid animal or any mammal suspected of having rabies.
(2) The disposition of such animals and of
			 animals suspected of having rabies that have not bitten humans shall be
			 determined by the local public health authority as follows:
(a) Inadequately vaccinated dogs, cats, and
			 ferrets shall be destroyed immediately, if the owner permits. If the owner does
			 not agree to this, the animal shall be confined as prescribed by the local
			 public health authority for a period of four months for dogs and cats and six
			 months for ferrets under the observation of a licensed veterinarian or a person
			 designated by the local public health authority. A rabies vaccine must be
			 administered at the time of entry into quarantine to bring the animal up to
			 current rabies vaccination status.
(b) Dogs, cats, and ferrets that are
			 adequately vaccinated shall be revaccinated immediately and observed in
			 confinement for 45 days by a person designated by the local public health
			 authority. If the owner prefers, such animals can be destroyed (in lieu of
			 confinement) with the concurrence of the local public health
			 authority.
(c) Unless the owner
			 prefers to hold any unvaccinated livestock or wild animals born and raised in
			 captivity in confinement for six months, such animals shall be destroyed.
			 Livestock that are current on rabies vaccination with a USDA-licensed vaccine
			 approved for that species should be given a booster vaccination immediately and
			 observed for 45 days.
(d) Unless
			 otherwise specified, all other mammals shall be destroyed.
(e) For the purposes of this rule,
			 confinement shall be within an enclosure or with restraints deemed adequate by
			 the local public health authority to prevent contact with any member of the
			 public or any other animal. Nothing in these rules or in OAR 333-019-0024  shall
			 be interpreted to require any public authority to bear the costs of such
			 confinement.

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 333 - OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY, PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION › Division 19 - INVESTIGATION AND CONTROL OF DISEASES: GENERAL POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES › Section 333-019-1011 - Masking Requirements to Control COVID-19 in Health Care Settings

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) COVID-19 is an
			 infection caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
			 (SARS-CoV-2). This virus can be spread by infected persons without symptoms as
			 well as those with symptoms. It undergoes frequent mutations as it replicates,
			 which over time has resulted in variants that are more transmissible, cause
			 more severe disease or have other features of public health concern such as
			 decreased vaccine effectiveness. Consistent masking by health care providers in
			 health care settings, as well as masking by visitors and patients provides
			 protection to health care providers and to the people they care for. Masks act
			 as source control if the provider has COVID-19 and provide a protective effect
			 if a patient has COVID-19.
(2) The
			 requirements in this rule remain in effect unless the State Public Health
			 Director or State Public Health Officer issues an order stating that the
			 requirements in this rule are no longer necessary to control COVID-19. If such
			 an order is issued the Oregon Health Authority must provide notice to
			 interested parties and otherwise take reasonable steps to ensure notice of the
			 order is provided to those affected by this rule in accordance with ORS
			 183.335(1). The
			 State Public Health Director or State Public Health Officer may also rescind
			 such an order, and such a rescission must also be noticed as provided in this
			 section. In determining whether this rule should remain in effect the State
			 Public Health Director or State Public Health Officer will take into
			 consideration as least the following information:
(a) The degree of COVID-19 transmission, as
			 measured by case rates, percent positivity, and any other objective metrics
			 indicative of current or potential transmission in Oregon.
(b) COVID-19 related hospitalizations and
			 deaths.
(c) Disparate COVID-19
			 related health impacts on communities of color and tribal
			 communities.
(d) Guidance from the
			 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
(e) Proportion of the population partially or
			 fully vaccinated.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 333 - OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY, PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION › Division 19 - INVESTIGATION AND CONTROL OF DISEASES: GENERAL POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES › Section 333-019-1015 - Masking Requirements in Schools

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) The Oregon Health Authority has the
			 authority to adopt rules to prescribe measures and methods for controlling
			 reportable diseases, including COVID-19. Children are required to attend
			 school, which is a congregate setting where COVID-19 can spread easily if
			 precautions are not taken. Two of the most important tools the state has to
			 control COVID-19 are vaccination and masking. To protect students who for
			 reasons of age or medical conditions are not eligible to be vaccinated, and
			 those with underlying health conditions that make them more susceptible to
			 complications from COVID-19, as well as to minimize the disruption of student
			 education in schools because of exposure to a confirmed or suspected case of
			 COVID-19, requiring universal use of masks or face coverings in schools is
			 necessary.
(2) The requirements in
			 this rule remain in effect unless the State Public Health Director or State
			 Public Health Officer issues an order stating that the some or all requirements
			 in this rule are no longer necessary to control COVID-19. If such an order is
			 issued the Oregon Health Authority must provide notice to interested parties
			 and otherwise take reasonable steps to ensure notice of the order is provided
			 to those affected by this rule in accordance with ORS
			 183.335(1).
			 The State Public Health Director or State Public Health Officer may also
			 rescind such an order, and such a rescission must also be noticed as provided
			 in this section. In determining whether this rule should remain in effect the
			 State Public Health Director or State Public Health Officer will take into
			 consideration as least the following information:
(a) The degree of COVID-19 transmission, as
			 measured by case rates, percent positivity, and any other objective metrics
			 indicative of current or potential transmission in Oregon.
(b) COVID-19 related hospitalizations and
			 deaths.
(c) Disparate COVID-19
			 related health impacts on communities of color and tribal
			 communities.
(d) Guidance from the
			 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
(e) Proportion of the population partially or
			 fully vaccinated.
