Clinic report at Council on coronavirus, flu
Indian Health Services
and community health work-
ers updated Tribal Council
last week on how the clinic
has responded to the
coronavirus outbreak: The
virus is mainly affecting
China, though the disease is
present in many other coun-
tries, including the U.S.
IHS made an inventory
of masks that can be used
to stop the spread of a vi-
rus; and made orders for
additional resources, said
Diane Fuller, Nurse. Masks
are available at the reception
area of the clinic. The re-
sponse would be similar to
the response to a flu pan-
demic, Ms. Fuller said.
The clinic team was also
working on a response plan,
were the virus to make its
way onto the reservation.
Tribal Emergency Manage-
ment and county health part-
ners are also part of the plan-
ning. Public education is an-
other important component
of the response plan, Ms.

ported a coronavirus diag-
nosis, though California had
seen six confirmed cases,
and Washington State re-
ported one case.
Worldwide—mostly in
China—more than 1,000
had died from the
coronavirus, while more that
42,000 had been diagnosed
with the disease. Some even
believe these numbers are
low, as the outbreak has
strained China’s health re-
sources.
Regular flu season
Ms. Fuller said the
coronavirus is a serious mat-
ter, though the regular flu
remains a significant health
concern: This season a re-
ported 8,500 people in the
U.S. had died from the flu,
she said.
During the current sea-
son, Community Health and
IHS had administered ap-
proximately 2,025 vaccina-
tions to clients, with 200
coming in January. This is
good coverage, though the
population of the immedi-
ate area is in the range of
6,000 people. So health
workers were continuing to
encourage people to get a
vaccination, especially the
young, elderly and otherwise
vulnerable.
