As I’m sure you have heard, we learned of the first Coronavirus (COVID-19) reports in Oregon over the last week. Over the coming weeks, it is likely that there will be more cases identified in and around our community.

 During times of uncertainty, our residents will look to us for leadership and guidance. While the City of Sodaville does not provide public health services like Linn County or the State of Oregon, we do provide other critical services that residents rely upon. Here are a few things to remember that will help us fulfill our role as public servants: 

1. Take care of yourselves and your family.  Specifically, wash your hands frequently and try to avoid hand contact with your face and eyes as much as possible. Also, remember to cover your sneezes and coughs. 
2. Use sick leave and other leave when appropriate. If you become symptomatic, please err on the side of caution and use your provided sick leave or other leave types to stay home. This will not only allow you to stay at home to rest and recover, but is also courteous to other employees and community members. 
3. Help keep our community calm. In your interactions with community members, please help them maintain calm and refer them to the Oregon Health Authority for updates and guidance. Here is a link to sign up for Coronavirus updates: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORDHS/subscriber/new?topic_id=ORDHS_816
4. You can also sign up for text updates.

 Just like the influenza (flu) virus we need to use common sense and follow the recommendations from health experts in how we prevent and respond to the Coronavirus.
