Steps you can take:
- Wash hands frequently, especially after you cough or sneeze. (use waterless hand sanitizer when soap and warm water are unavailable)
- Cover your cough (cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, not into your hands)
- Stay home when you are ill (Protect others and accelerate your recovery)
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
This disease is presenting similar symptoms as seasonal flu. If you have a fever higher than 100 degrees F (37.7 degrees C) with a runny nose, nasal congestion, cough or sore throat please call Bishop Wellness Center at 503-370-6062. If you need to come to Bishop Health Services with the above symptoms, you will be asked to wear a mask as a precautionary measure.
