We value the health and well-being of our students, staff and families. As you may be aware, many regions around the world are experiencing an expanding outbreak of respiratory illness caused by coronavirus and several confirmed cases have been identified in the State of Washington. Symptoms of the illness are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. This virus can spread from person-to-person and the number of cases detected in the United States and many other countries is growing.
The district and our skilled nursing staff take this health risk very seriously and are monitoring this emerging issue closely. We are working with local, state and national health agencies on prevention and district management in the event of an outbreak in our community. Our district follows health care expert guidance and practice recommendations. We are sharing this information so you are aware and can help reduce the spread of infection.
Preventing the spread of the coronavirus is the same as preventing the spread of a cold, influenza, and other respiratory viruses. Please look below for specific information about personal prevention methods. As always, the Wenatchee School District custodial staff use antibacterial/antiviral cleaners to sanitize door knobs, sinks, toilets, and other school surfaces. We take instructions on preserving public health from the Washington State Department of Health (WSDOH) and the Chelan-Douglas Health District (CDHD). Should we receive direction from WSDOH or CDHD to add to our current custodial cleaning system, we will do that immediately.
Prevention Methods
The Washington State Department of Health has established a hotline with a live person to address questions from the public. If you have questions about what is happening in Washington state, how the virus is spread, and what to do if you have symptoms, please call the WSDOH hotline at 1-800-525-0127 and press # then press 2. You will be connected to a live person. This hotline is open from 6:00 am until 10:00 pm.
