The CCC Emergency Preparedness/Public Safety Committee would like to share information with our community about this rapidly evolving health issue. Especially now that there are cases in the Northwest, it is important that you look to trusted sources for current information. There is a chain of resources available to Oregon residents who wish to have information. We have listed links to each of the sites below, they are all reliable and have current COVID-19 pages and updates.
The Charbonneau clubhouse is regularly cleaned and we continue to evaluate our cleaning procedures. But it is important to keep in mind that the surfaces where people touch – bars or doors – should never be considered sanitized. That’s because the surface is only clean until someone touches it or coughs/sneezes nearby. If we’re to prevent the spread of coronavirus locally, we need your help.
NOTE: The Oregon Health Authority has a special service that will send you updates on the virus via email. Click on their link below and you will find an option to sign up for these updates on the opening page of their site.
Oregon Health Authority officials continue to recommend people in Oregon take everyday precautions to prevent the spread of many respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and influenza:
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces that are often touched.
- Take care of your health overall. Staying current on your vaccinations, including flu vaccine, eating well and exercising all help your body stay resilient.
- Consult CDC’s travel website for any travel advisories and steps to protect yourself if you plan to travel outside of the US.
