Situation Summary:
Officials recommend staying informed and practicing good personal hygiene including washing hands regularly, staying home when sick, and covering any cough you may have. You can reduce the chance of getting any viral infection by avoiding people who are sick and not touching your eyes, nose, or mouth before washing your hands. Your healthcare provider can offer the best advice regarding the use of masks specifically for protection.
Oregon Emergency Management has always recommended every family be two weeks ready and have enough food and supplies to be able to shelter in place for a two week period if needed. It’s always a good idea to be two weeks ready.
Based on current information, the primary way the virus is spread is through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or simply speaks close to you. The data on this new virus is still changing rapidly. Links to official information sources are provided below on this page. Our most recent articles are contained near the bottom of this page.
Klamath Alerts does not support vaccine mandates. We believe the choice should be yours alone. We encourage our readers to do their own research about Covid-19 and the government handling of the pandemic. The numbers here are mostly provided by Oregon Health Authority. The reliability of PCR tests is challenged by well respected medical professionals.
