Governor Kate Brown has launched a new phase of the state’s public awareness campaign to educate Oregonians about COVID-19.
A release said Safe + Strong focuses on community-centered outreach in 12 languages to connect people who are most at-risk of experiencing health disparities with information, tools and resources to help them stay safe, healthy and strong during the pandemic.
The target audiences of the campaign include:
*Immigrants and refugees
*Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities
*Oregonians whose preferred language is not English
*Oregonians with chronic health conditions
*Older residents
*Migrants and seasonal farm workers
*Hourly wage essential workers
The release said the Governor’s office along with the Oregon Health Authority will be working directly with community leaders and organizations representing these groups.
