Avoid getting or spreading the flu Influenza season has come early to Wasco County, and area health agencies note that it is not to late to get vaccinated if you haven’t re- ceived a flu shot. Vaccination is the best way to prevent spread of the flu. The North Central Public Health District noted in a press release that “it is very important that we protect those most vulnerable to influenza.” They recommend those with a fever and upper respiratory symptoms delay visits to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, day care facilities and hospitals until at least 24 hours after the fever subsides. If you visit a clinic or hos- pital because you are sick, wear a mask, and continue to wear a mask in public until you have been fever free for 24 hours, NCPHD recommends. The preventive measures listed below will also help stop the spread of flu, but because people infected with the flu may infect others a day before they show symp- tons, vaccination is still the best way to avoid catching and spreading the flu. • Cover your cough and sneeze. • Wash your hands often, using soap and warm water. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. • Limit close contact with those that are sick. • Stay home when you’re sick. Protect others at school and work by staying home Gold coins support Salvation Army The Salvation Army has struck gold in The Dalles. Two gold coins were dropped in Red Kettles in Wasco County to help the Salvation Army in The Dalles. This is a generous gift, which greatly helps the Salvation Army get closer to reaching their Red Kettle Campaign goal of $60,000 to help fund their year-round programs and services. The Salvation Army bell ringing continued through Christmas Eve day. “These gold coins make a huge difference in helping us get closer to reaching our goal. We believe it was the same person who gave both of these coins. This generous donor knows that the impact of their donation is large, and we are so very thankful,” said Captain Ray Morris, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army in The Dalles, who discovered the gold coins. The funds raised in the Red Kettles stay in the communi- ties where they are given to support those in need. Red Kettle donations support Christmas family assistance, year-round assistance for low-income families and individuals, a food pantry, youth programs, summer camps, character-building classes, homeless assistance, veterans’ programs, seniors assistance and more. For more information, contact Captain Ray Morris at 520-409-9145 or email ray. morris@usw.salvationarmy. org. at least 24 hours after a fever (100+ degrees) subsides. • Clean surfaces. Flu germs can live for hours on hard surfaces. Make sure your home and workspace are wiped down frequently, especially where children are playing. Flu symptoms include fe- ver, cough, sore throat, body aches, runny or stuffy nose, ANSWER headache, chills, fatigue, and sometimes nausea (more of- ten in children than adults). Many respiratory viruses have similar symptoms, but influenza tends to be more severe. Having the flu can lead to hospitalization and sometimes death.
