Oregon's Gov. Kate Brown gave the 'Stay At Home' Order on March 20. The edict came after the governor asked the public to avoid gatherings and then saw a large number going about their day as usual and visiting beaches which forced her to act.
"I started by asking Oregonians to stay home and practice social distancing," Brown said in a statement. "Then I urged the public to follow these recommendations. Instead, thousands crowded the beaches of our coastal communities, our trails, our parks, and our city streets, potentially spreading COVID-19 and endangering the lives of others across the state.
"Now, I’m ordering it," she added. "To save lives and protect our community."

About This Tool
More than two months after the United States notified the outbreak of the coronavirus, the epidemic has spread to all parts of the United States, with more than 200,000 infections and nearly 4,000 deaths. States are being attacked by this global pandemic, and the number of reported cases exceeds that of Italy, which is most affected. The shortcomings and advantages of the state response measures are already obvious.
The number of medical supplies and the impact of the coronavirus varies from state, and different places have introduced different response measures and policies to protect the public and professional medical staff. The random tool explained facts about how these 50 states respond to coronavirus outbreaks.
