COVID-19 PROVIDER RESOURCES AVAILABLE  

The Early Learning Division (ELD) partnered with the Oregon Health Authority to develop resources on masking and exclusion for providers. Some of the items available include a  “Respect my mask” sign for families in various languages, an updated exclusion chart, and masking handout.  

You can find these resources, along with Frequently Asked Questions on COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine, on the ELD’s “For Providers” webpage.

Some of the key guidance changes include the following: 

  • Updated exclusion requirements and recommendations for child care 
  • Mask recommendations that encourage programs to support individual choice to wear a mask 
  • Updated recommendations for prevention strategies 
  • Who to notify if there’s a case of COVID-19 in a facility 

Many of these changes have already been in effect. A number of resource documents are also available such a  “Respect my mask” sign for families, an updated exclusion chart, and masking handout.  

You can find these resources, along with Frequently Asked Questions on COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine, on the ELD’s “For Providers” webpage.
