Oregon restaurants may be asked to keep patron information.

Oregon restaurants may be asked to consider keeping the names, contact information and dates of visits for patrons as part of the state’s effort to reopen parts of the economy during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a draft version of the plan obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

That guidance might apply not only to restaurants but also other business sectors, such as retail and salons, according to the records.

The draft documents offer a first glimpse into the details of Gov. Kate Brown’s efforts to eventually reopen some Oregon businesses largely shuttered since her stay-home order in March. State officials have said Oregon can’t remain closed forever but want to ensure the virus doesn’t surge as businesses are allowed to restore hours and services.
