Advisory

Health advisory update for Marion County and the City of Jefferson: Coronavirus

All City events and meetings are operating as scheduled.  In an effort to stop the spread of ANY virus or illness, we are encouraging our staff and the public to wash their hands frequently, cover coughs/sneezes, and follow measures suggested by the State and CDC.
The following information was sent by Marion County Commissioners:

As the Local Public Health Authority (LPHA), Marion County Health and Human Services plays an important role in responding to any reports of infectious disease. They are working closely with health care providers throughout the county to ensure that the providers are aware of the signs and symptoms and understand the screening guidelines to follow.

 

In the case of COVID-19, Marion County Health and Human Services is taking guidance from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to ensure our providers are aware of the investigative guidelines related to the virus. They are participating in regular conference calls between OHA and other local public health authorities to stay up to date with the current status of the virus and ensure communities throughout Oregon are provided with the same accurate and up-to-date information.

 

To date, three cases of coronavirus have been identified in Oregon. There are currently no cases of COVID-19 in Marion County and the general risk to the public remains low. Marion County Health and Human Services has activated its Department Operations Center and is actively monitoring the situation and is prepared to respond if the situation changes.

 

Please visit the Marion County Health and Human Services website for local information and links to both OHA and the CDC. For general information about coronavirus, please call 2-1-1.
