CHW release – Coos Health & Wellness is working hard to keep you informed on the status of COVID-19 guidelines in Coos County. We will continue to provide updates as these situations change. Based on Tuesday, January 19th metrics, Coos County is continuing in Extreme Risk Guidelines. The next opportunity for Coos County to change risk categories will be January 29th, with that risk category based on the data released on Monday January 25th by Oregon Health Authority. For more detailed information please see the governor’s website here. https://coronavirus.oregon.gov/Pages/default.aspx You may access the web based School Metrics Dashboard for additional details including previous data HERE. It is up to us, as a community, to be the best public health stewards we can be. We are asking that you follow the guidelines such as social distancing, wearing a face covering in public and using good hand hygiene to help keep our case counts low enough that we can get our schools re-opened for the benefit of our children. If you have any questions regarding COVID-19, please visit our website HERE for the most recent guidance, or email us at covid19.questions@chw.coos.or.us.
