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.

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.
