Preparing to Reopen Coos County, May 14

CHW release – As Coos County prepares to slowly reopen, Coos Health & Wellness wants to remind businesses, organizations, and community members that we are still under Executive Order 2022 until we have approval to move forward. We have all had to make significant behavioral changes to reduce the spread of COVID-19. While we prepare for reopening, we will need to continue these practices: • social distancing (specifically, staying 6 feet away from others when you must go into a shared space) • frequently washing hands or use alcohol-based (at least 60% alcohol) hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available • wearing cloth face coverings • avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth • staying home when sick • cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces. Learn about Oregon’s reopening guidance from Governor Kate Brown’s website: COVID-19 Resources for Oregonians. Please remember that it is up to us, as a community, to be the best public health stewards we can be. 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 and we will work to respond to your question in a timely manner.
