FW: COVID alert

[Dan Wells]

Just a caution for everyone.   I had to send this out to all the pilots who attended the Applegate Open this year.  People can be infectious before they have symptoms.

View this email in your browser Hi pilots, Just today we have had two volunteers test positive for COVID.  Johnny Langham and Janica Lee both had  symptoms on Friday and tested positive today.  There may be others. Because you can be infectious for up to 2 days before you show symptoms, you may have ben exposed or become infected on the last day of the comp.    The latest information from the CDC and NIH for people who have been exposed but don't have symptoms is follows:  You do not need to quarantine if: You are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters and additional doses, based on your age and health status.  If you completed your primary series and are not yet eligible for your booster, you must have received the final dose in your primary series at least 2 weeks before exposure to the person with COVID-19 in order to not need to quarantine.  Tested positive for COVID-19 with a viral test within the previous 90 days and recovered.    While you do not need to quarantine, you may want to take the following steps:  Get tested for COVID-19 at least 5 days after your last close contact with the person you know  had COVID-19.  If you test positive, follow the guidance in What to do if you test positive for COVID-19. For more information this is a good link. https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/COVIDexposed.pdf    Please, Please understand that we are sending this out in an abundance of caution because this virus ( unlike most respiratory viruses ) is spread by folks when they have no signs of the illness.  Thanks, Dan Wells ao-a...@rvhpa.org 503 804-1077     Copyright © 2022 Rogue Valley Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, non profit, All rights reserved.
