Gov. Kate Brown Encourages Residents to Call Police on Neighbors Violating COVID Restrictions
Governor Kate Brown is encouraging residents to call the police on any neighbors who flout state COVID-19 restrictions, which include limiting in-home gatherings to a maximum of six people.
This is no different than what happens if theres a party down the street and its keeping everyone awake, Brown said in an interview Friday. What do neighbors do [in that case]? They call law enforcement because its too noisy. This is just like that. Its like a violation of a noise ordinance.
Last week the Democratic governor instituted a new round of restrictions aimed at mitigating the spread of coronavirus in the state via executive order, including a two-week freeze limiting indoor and outdoor gatherings to no more than six people from no more than two households just ahead of Thanksgiving.
Residents are also prohibited from eating out at restaurants and going to the gym, though faith-based gatherings of up to 25 people indoors and 50 people outdoors are allowed.
Violators can face up to 30 days in jail, $1,250 fines or both.
