Friday, November 13, 2020 | Seaside Signal | SeasideSignal.com • A5 Homelessness: Social services key to homeless response Continued from Page A1 “When someone is trying to contact them to follow up it might just be the second bench on Avenue I on the Prom between 10 and 11 a.m.,” he said. Without adequate social service response or treatment, it’s like “trying to put a Band- Aid on the problem,” with very few resources for police departments. “Cities, especially small cities, don’t have the resources nor are we capable of provid- ing these resources,” Ham said. City Councilor Tita Mon- tero sought to expand the conversation to the people at the center of the topic, those homeless living by riverbanks, parks, woods or on the beach in Seaside. “You cannot solve a sit- uation in a vacuum,” Mon- tero said. “You cannot solve it without the input of the peo- ple experiencing it. We really R.J. Marx A makeshift shelter in the Cove. need to make an effort to include them.” “I don’t believe we’re going to solve this problem,” Barber said. “I want to under- stand it. I want our community to understand it and under- stand how they could be pos- itive and constructive about helping people who are in this quandary of their lives. It’s impacting all of us, but not nearly as much as those who are suffering homeless- ness. We need to be concerned about them.” A homelessness workshop takes place Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, 415 First Ave. City of Seaside TOP: Chief Dave Ham at a City Council workshop on homelessness in Seaside.

Coronavirus: ‘If the guidance isn’t followed, cases will continue to rise’ Continued from Page A1 Businesses are allowed to operate under Occupa- tional Health and Safety Administration rules as long as they follow the require- ments of quarantining, iso- lation and sanitation. The Oregon Health Authority will list a busi- ness or organization as hav- ing an outbreak when there are fi ve or more cases linked to a single scenario. “We currently do not have that scenario,” McNickle said. The health department contacts every positive case and conducts tracing to identify direct contacts, McNickle said. “We provide evidence-based information and guidance to individu- als, business and organiza- tions throughout Clatsop County.” The county offers drive- through testing two days a week, including rapid tests with same-day results. Staff works seven days a week to follow up on cases and contacts to assure the health and safety of the community, he added. The record number of cases brings concerns that people are experiencing “COVID fatigue,” letting their guard down and not following social distanc- ing, masking and isolation guidance from OHA and the Centers for Disease Control. “If the guidance isn’t fol- lowed, cases will continue to rise,” McNickle said.
