Have OHA revises testing COVID-19 guidelines Monday night (April 27), Oregon Health Authority (OHA) revised guidelines for COVID-19 testing to prioritize impacted pop- ulations and all frontline workers. The guidelines continue to allow healthcare provid- ers to make clinical deci- sions about their patients. In addition, if supplies allow, asymptomatic people within the congregate care or group living systems can be considered for testing. The newly revised guide- lines urge clinicians to po- tentially increase testing for Oregonians who may be at particular risk for con- tracting COVID-19. These groups include: • Those living or working in congregate care or group living facilities; • Underserved and mar- ginalized populations, in- cluding racial and ethnic minority groups, and; • Essential frontline workers, including those providing healthcare ser- vices and those serving the public, such as grocery store workers. “As we have done nu- merous times during the COVID-19 epidemic, we’ve Public Notices The Lowest Rates in Lane County PUBLIC MEETINGS, TRUSTEE NOTICES, PROBATE, AUCTION & FORECLOSURE NOTICES, AND MORE. revised our testing guide- lines in order to fit the changing shape of the dis- ease outbreak, and to ensure we’re best responding to the current situation,” said Dean Sidelinger, MD, state epidemiologist. “By focusing clinicians’ attention on testing certain groups — including those most at risk for contracting severe forms of COVID-19 — we are making sure peo- ple who need to be tested are getting tested.” your own soap, hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes. • All picnic tables and other RV Park amenities will not be sanitized. • Self-contained RV units only.

She was born in Colton, South Dakota, to Cora (Aus- tin) and Andrew Henderson. She began playing the piano and organ in church at the age of 14, and continued that service to God until her mid- 80s. She was always involved in all aspects of congregation- al life.

Being a mom and “Grandma Marcia” were her greatest delights! Her grandchildren treasure mem- ories of her reading to them, making up many stories, and playing with them. As they grew, she loved attending their musical or sporting events, and marveled at their accom- plishments. Marcia moved to Cottage Grove in 2018 and was uplift ed by the family of Trinity Lutheran Church and spiritual care of Pastor Markus. She thoroughly enjoyed lively companionship and nurturing care at Magnolia Gardens. Her loving spirit, positive attitude, wisdom, strong faith and good humor will be missed, but we are comforted that she is at peace. Marcia is preceded in death by her devoted husband, Ray. She is survived by her son, John (Gloria), and daughter, Nancy (Steve) Vasilakes, her 6 grandchildren and 8+ great grandchildren, her loving sis- ter Ruth, nieces and nephews. Marcia’s family will be forever grateful to her Caregivers at Magnolia Memory Care, and the excellent care from Sacred Heart Home Health and Hos- pice. Memorial services cele- brating Marcia’s life will take place later.
