Minding COVID-19

The OVA is urging all members to follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control on coronavirus, or COVID-19. Some simple hygiene procedures can help to minimize spread for this disease and seasonal flu. The Sonoma County Department of Health Services confirmed a second presumptive positive case of COVID-19 on March 5. Two patients have been placed in isolation in local hospitals. A presumptive case means the CDC will do further testing to confirm the diagnosis.

To prevent the spread of this illness or other illnesses, including the flu:
· Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
· Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze,
· Stay home when you’re sick, and
· See your doctor if you think you’re ill.

Click on the links below for specific information on what to do if you think you may be infected with the virus or visit www.cdc.gov website.
