PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon will reduce the required amount of space between students from six feet to three feet in most cases, a revision of COVID-19 school precautions that will give districts more flexibility as students return to in-person class. The Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Department of Education cited new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in making the change. Oregon still requires students to wear masks and will maintain six feet of distance when passing in the hallways and eating. The new rules mean schools can put four times as many students in a classroom.
