From the Portland Area Indian Health Board
The Northwest Portland Area
Indian Health Board—at the di-
rection of our 43 member tribes,
including the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs—has declared a
public health emergency related to
Covid-19.
The Northwest Portland Area
Indian Health Board strongly rec-
ommends that our member
tribes—and tribes nationwide—
mitigate the pandemic by taking
steps to stop the spread of Covid-
1, by closing non-essential services
within their tribal communities.
· The Portland Area health
board supports each tribe defining
essential services and that essen-
tial services be limited to those
necessary for public health and
safety.
· The board has recommended
tribes immediately enact shelter in
place for their communities, and
people and cancel all social gath-
erings to stop the spread of Covid-
19 and that all people stay home.
· The board recommends that
all tribes, and members, and all
people practice social distancing
when out of the home (access-
ing or providing essential ser-
vices).
Tips to protect yourself and
your nation from Covid-19
By Dr. Victoria Warren-Mears ,
Northwest Portland Area Indian
Health Board
The spread of Covid-19 in
Oregon threatens our elders, our
workers, our families and our Na-
tions.
To protect our people, the
Northwest Portland Area Indian
Health Board—and the 43 feder-
ally-recognized tribes that are our
board—recommends that tribes in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
cancel social gatherings and non-
essential services.
It may feel like an overreaction,
but each one of us has an impor-
tant role to play to help prevent
Covid-19 from spreading.
The most important thing we
can do to help prevent Covid-19
from spreading is to stay home,
even if you don’t feel sick or think
you are at risk.
People can look completely
normal and feel healthy, and un-
knowingly spread the virus to oth-
ers. By staying home, you will pro-
tect those who are most vulner-
able in our communities, includ-
ing elders and those with asthma
and diabetes.
Know how it Spreads
· The best way to prevent ill-
ness is to avoid being exposed to
this virus.
· The virus is thought to spread
mainly from person-to-person:
Between people who are in
close contact with one another
(within about 6 feet);
Through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected per-
son coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the
Facemasks
(Continued from page 1)
When going out in public
please wear a mask. We ask that
you wear a mask when coming
to the clinic for any reason—
Whether you are sick or coming
for other reasons.
To help the service unit pre-
serve as many masks as possible,
please bring your own face
mouths or noses of people who
are nearby or possibly be inhaled
into the lungs.
Protect yourself and your
loved ones:
· Wash your hands frequently:
Regularly and thoroughly clean
your hands with soap and water
or an alcohol-based hand rub.
Why? Washing your hands kills
viruses that may be on your
hands.
· Maintain social distance.
· Avoid close contact with
people who are sick.
· Put 6 feet of distance be-
tween yourself and other people.
This is especially important for
people who are at higher risk of
getting sick.
Only go out for essentials, like
groceries or medicine. Group
your trips and designate one
healthy person to run errands to
reduce exposure and contamina-
tion.
· Avoid touching your eyes,
nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many sur-
faces and can pick up viruses.
Once contaminated, hands can
transfer the virus to your eyes,
nose or mouth. From there, the
virus can enter your body and can
make you sick.
except to get medical care.
· Cover your mouth and nose
with a tissue when you cough or
sneeze or use the inside of your
elbow. Throw used tissues in the
trash.
· Immediately wash your hands
with soap and water for at least
20 seconds. If soap and water are
not readily available, clean your
hands with a hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60 percent alco-
hol.
Wear a facemask
· You should wear a facemask
when you are around other people
(for example, sharing a room or
vehicle) and before you enter a
healthcare provider’s office.
If you are not able to wear a
facemask—for example, because
it causes trouble breathing—then
you should do your best to cover
your coughs and sneezes, and
people who are caring for you
should wear a facemask if they
enter your room.
· The actual health-care
facemasks are in short supply,
and should be saved for
caregivers. You can make your
own mask, as described at many
internet sites.
If you have fever, cough and
difficulty breathing, seek medical
care early
· Stay home if you feel unwell.
· If you have a fever, cough
and difficulty breathing, seek medi-
cal attention and call in advance.
Follow the directions of your lo-
cal health authority.
The Health and Wellness
Center call number is 541-
5532-5512, available Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5
p.m.
Protect your community
and nation:
In consideration of others,
Stay home if you’re sick.
· Stay home if you are sick,
mask to the clinic if you have
one.
If you do not have one, a
mask will be provided for
you before you enter the
building.
