The health department today also reported 72 new COVID-19 cases – down 62 from Tuesday’s total. There are currently 689 presumed cases of COVID-19 – up one from Tuesday.
Umatilla County officials reiterated their advice to residents to take precautions against the spread of coronavirus:
To protect your health and the health of others, be sure to wear a mask, wash your hands and practice social distancing. It is imperative that any person who is exhibiting symptoms of respiratory illness stay home. UCo Health continues to discover instances where individuals are continuing to work while sick. Now, more than ever, it is important for businesses to ensure that employees are not coming to work sick. Employees may feel internal and external pressure to work through mild illness. Businesses are encouraged to develop flexible leave policies to support employees who become ill and establish procedures for sending employees who are not feeling well home. Anyone who is exhibiting any symptoms of respiratory illness must stay home from work for 72-hours after all symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, etc.) have resolved.
Is this a BS story to support Kate Browns Mask mandate??
who was the person?
how old were they?
what under lying condition did they have?
I think a bit more info should be put into a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED SCENERIO as covid.
oh ya how many people in Umatilla county died in 2016,2017,2018???
probably more that the 126 over a 2 year span.
thanks for the lackadaisical reporting…
If you can tell us of any other contagious viruses or diseases that are killing people on a nearly daily basis, we’ll report on that, as well.
