What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a new strain of coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2. This new coronavirus has spread in people only since around December 2019. Health experts are learning more about this new coronavirus and the illness it causes every day. At this time, there is no treatment or vaccine to prevent COVID-19.

The virus is spread mainly from person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby – usually within about 6 feet. The droplets can also land on nearby surfaces and remain infectious after a contagious person has left the area. COVID-19 can even be spread by people who are not showing symtpoms of any kind.

Health experts are learning more and more about who becomes sick and the rang eof illness from COVID-19. Reported cases have ranged from mild illness (similar to a common cold) to severe pneumonia that requires hospitalization. So far, deaths from COVID-19 in Oregon have been reported mainly in older adults who had other health conditions. From the beginning of the pandemic, most children with COVID-19 had very mild symptoms. Recently, a new illness in children has been reported that can cause severe inflammation throughout the body. The children with this illness are very sick and require hospitalization.

Anyone who comes into contact with the virus can become infected and may or may not show symptoms. Coronaviruses spread easily to adults and children alike. No group of people is more likely to get or spread the virus. However, we continue to learn about groups at higher risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19 including: people with chronic health conditions, people living in group care settings, health care workers, and other essential workers.

SYMPTOMS

COVID-19 symptoms and severity can vary significantly person to person. Here are some common symptoms the Oregon Health Authority advises you look out for. If you experience any of these symptoms, notify your health care provider immediately.

Information for Residents

General Information

Any resident experiencing new symptoms of possible illness shall be monitored through the “change of condition and monitoring” protocol. Common illness often seen in community settings include respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. These types of illnesses carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality in the geriatric setting and must be monitored closely for resident health and safety. Residents with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk for infections and any accompanying complications.

For your own safety as well as the safety of other residents, If you are feeling sick at all or experiencing any of these flu-like symptoms, please inform a community staff member.

If you have any other specific questions please contact the executive director at your community.

Visitors & Staying In Touch

We know this is a difficult time, and that now, more than ever, many of you may be relying on the support of your loved ones. However, in order to ensure the safety of all of our residents, we are asking that you try to limit in-person interactions as much as possible. Many alternatives are available for both social calls and medical appointments that use video chat technology. If you need assistance with this, or if you have questions about what type of visitors you can see or what accomidations your community might be able to make, please contact your community’s executive director.

Face Coverings

CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, retail stores, and fitness related organizations. Cloth face coverings may slow the spread of the virus and
help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.

We advise all residents in our communities to wear face coverings when they are outside of their rooms, and to practice social/physical distancing measures.

 Screening Protocols

With Oregon’s reopening underway, long term care residents may engage in community outings, subject to the same restrictions as any other Oregonian. however, the community will take certain precautionary steps to safeguard both residents and staff when individual residents choose to exercise their right to leave a community. If you choose to engage in community outings and or activities, it will be required that you complete a re-entry screening upon returning to the community each time you leave.

Information for Staff & Vendors

Please make sure you are following all protocols, checking in, and reporting any symptoms or illness to managers and/or the Executive Director. As always, using common sense will go a long way when it comes to protecting our communities and is expected of all staff and vendors.

It is vital that everyone understands all protocols and increased precautionary measures. If you have ANY questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the ED at your community for further information or training.
