Rumors Surrounding COVID-19

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We at Coos Health & Wellness would like to take the time to address the constant rumor circulation happening in the community. Please understand that if a report of a positive COVID-19 case did not come from the Public Health Division of Coos Health & Wellness, or the Oregon Health Authority, it is most likely false and misleading.

A recent example would be the rumor of an individual in Bandon being in contact with a positive COVID-19 case from Wisconsin. This has been proven to be a rumor and has no factual basis.

If you are ever in question of a situation regarding this virus, please email us at covid19.question@chw.coos.or.us, visit our COVID-19 page, subscribe to our daily situation status report, or give us a call at 541-266-6700 where we can share the most up to date information on this situation.
