COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | MARCH 5, 2020 | 3A SLSD provides tips, info regarding COVID-19 precautions for students, families As you are aware, a new strain of the novel coro- naviruses, COVID-19, has been found in a few people in Oregon. The State of Oregon, county health authorities and South Lane School District are all closely monitoring the situation. We are monitoring up- dates from the Oregon Health Authority and Lane County Health De- partment. At this point in time, we are operating South Lane Schools as usu- al. We will notify you if we find it necessary to take more precautionary measures. What we know about COVID-19: • Washing hands of- ten and thoroughly is the best prevention. • Public health officials say that based on the his- tory of the virus, few are likely to need medical care. • Those most at-risk are older adults, and peo- ple with compromised immune systems. • The virus is spread mainly from per- son-to-person: between people who are in close contact with one anoth- er (within about 6 feet) and through respirato- ry droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The main symptoms of COVID-19 are cough, fever and shortness of breath. If your child merely has a runny nose, your child may attend school. If your child is sick: If your child is sick with a fever (above 100.4°) and/or cold/flu symptoms, keep them home until they are with- out a fever for 24 hours (without fever reducing medicines). What we suggest: • Help stop the spread of germs • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands • Wash your hands of- ten with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readi- ly available, use an alco- hol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. • Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tis- sue (or the elbow of your sleeve) and then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect surfaces that are often touched • Stay home if you’re sick. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Take care of your health overall. Staying current on your vacci- nations, including flu vaccine, eating well and exercising all help your body stay resilient • Establish a child care plan, just in case your student needs to stay home sick. • Sign up and down- load the Flash Alert App for instantaneous infor- mation for all South Lane Schools. • Check in with SLSD’s coronavirus webpage for more resources and in- formation. Reliable sources of information about COVID-19: • Lane County Health Public Department • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • Oregon Health Au- thority • The Oregon Depart- ment of Education • Dial 211 for Oregon’s general information line Area graduates recognized by university Dean’s Lists for fall terms Oregon State University Names of students who have made the Scholas- tic Honor Roll Fall term have been announced by Oregon State University.

They also presented workshops and classes to over 10,000 individuals at community events. Applications are now being accepted for the 2020 eight-week training program. The full day classes will be held every Monday starting April 6 and continue through graduation on June 1. The course provides in-depth research-based training in all areas of food preservation in- cluding food safety.
