Dear Lost River Community:
I am writing to let you know that there has been a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 associated with Lost River. The health and welfare of our campus community are our first priorities.
There are procedures and protocols in place to ensure the health and safety of you and your family. We are working with Klamath County Public Health to ensure an effective and comprehensive response to this situation. The steps we are taking together include:
- Rapid identification and notification of close contacts (those in the infected person’s presence, closer than six feet for 15 minutes or more)
- Closure of rooms and spaces where the infected person has been on campus
- Deep cleaning of those rooms and spaces
- Staff members and students who have been exposed will be asked to quarantine themselves, at the direction of Public Health
As a reminder, the primary symptoms of COVID-19 are
- Cough
- Fever of 100.4°F or greater
- Chills
- Shortness of breath
- New loss of taste or smell
To protect yourself:
- Keep your distance by maintaining six feet of social or physical distancing between yourself and others
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, utilizing hand sanitizer when washing facilities are not available
- Sanitize surfaces that are often touched
- Avoid gatherings of any size where social or physical distancing is not possible
To protect others around you:
- Cover coughs and sneezes
- Stay home when sick
- Wear a clean mask in public spaces, including outdoors when six feet of social distance cannot be maintained
Should you have any questions or concerns, please call the [school] office at [phone number], or Klamath County Public Health at 541.882.8846.
Sincerely,
Jamie Ongman
