With a greater focus on enforcing mask wearing on the horizon, the city of Bend has a hotline residents can call about businesses not adhering to the statewide mask mandate. The city established a complaint hotline for people to report businesses that are not following the COVID-19 related rules set back in July, during a previous peak in the spread of coronavirus. The number is 541-323-7155.
Callers to the hotline must leave a message and include the name of the business, the date and time of the violation and a description of the violation, according to the city. Anonymous calls are not accepted.
In response to a spike in COVID-19 cases, the Bend City Council preliminarily supported increasing the civil penalty for businesses violating the mask order to a Class A civil infraction, which comes with a fine up to $750.
Individuals not following the Oregon Health Authority mask guidelines in Bend still are subject to a $100 civil penalty for the first violation, $250 for the second, and $500 for a third violation. These penalties were adopted in July.

Note to Oregon resident: Snitch on your pols.
I can fully believe that. I honestly don’t know what has happened to Americans. We were famous for independent thinking but now famous for fear.
Most Americans will do whatever the government tells them to, no matter how irrational. It’s all fear and it all comes through the media.
Influx of California locusts has turned it into a blue city. Just outside of Bend, all Red.
My teenaged son went for a bike ride. Someone complained. I initially thought it was for not wearing a helmet or going on the major street instead of the trail. No, for not wearing a mask.
To burn off energy, he was biking 2-5 miles a day.
