Millions of Americans could find themselves homeless starting Sunday when a nationwide ban on evictions expires, even as billions in government funds meant to help them go untapped. 

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) announced on Friday that masks are now required in schools and state agency buildings effective immediately, The Associated Press reports.

The United States is facing a pivotal moment in the coronavirus pandemic, given that the Delta variant is spurring surges in cases and hospitalizations: It must increase vaccinations or risk magnifying the impact, the surgeon general said.

“It’s about damn time,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, head of the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee.

Walensky mentioned, however, that many schools and jobs already require people to get vaccinated.
