The Ohio Governor also advocated for families to return to their doctors for well-child visits

COLUMBUS, Ohio — During Tuesday afternoon’s press briefing, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine made a large push for families to vaccinate their children for preventable diseases. 

Governor DeWine said that although there is not a vaccine ready and available that prevents COVID-19, it is more important than ever to make sure kids are immunized for diseases and illnesses that are able to be stopped.

At the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic in Ohio, Governor DeWine said the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) saw a steep drop in vaccinations for diseases like whooping cough and the chicken pox, but that “we’re starting to catch up on these numbers, but there’s still some reason to be concerned.” 

During the briefing, Governor DeWine

Kent County has reached more than 10,000 diagnosed COVID-19 cases.

KENT COUNTY, Mich — COVID-19 cases are climbing in Michigan, with the state now reporting an average of 1,000 daily cases. Dr. Adam London with the Kent County Health Department (KCHD) said increases statewide mirror local numbers across the county.

“Here in Kent County we’re now over 10,000 diagnosed cases in total of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, and we are seeing an increase,” London said. “About a month ago, we were only seeing about 35 cases per day. Now we’re seeing over 100 new cases per day.”

London said in addition to case numbers, the percent of tests done each day that come back positive are increasing. Around one month ago, an average of 2% of the tests came back positive, but now it’s jumped to 4%.

He also said more people are also being hospitalized due

Montgomery County Public Health District urges flu shots during COVID-19 pandemic

October 9, 2020

| Health Center

The Montgomery County Public Health District is urging residents to get vaccinated for the flu and is currently taking appointments for children with adult bookings coming soon.

“This year, it’s even more important with COVID because the signs and symptoms of COVID are very similar to that of the flu,” said Alicia Williams, MCPHD’s public health director.

Looming over this flu season is the possibility of there being a confluence with COVID-19. And that can happen, Williams said as she pointed to a full hospital capacity due to COVID-19 in July.

“We don’t want to have that situation if we can prevent it. And getting a flu shot is one way we can prevent it,” she said, signaling a strain on supplies, nurse and space capacity brought on by flu hospitalizations.

As of Thursday, there are 61 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the county, including 18 in ICU, according to the

Key Facts

The officials noted the Sept. 26 Rose Garden event to celebrate the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, saying their preliminary understanding is that there has been “limited contact tracing” which means there may be staff and residents who have been exposed to someone with the virus. 

They reiterated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guideline which recommends any individual who comes within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes

Washington, D.C. health department faults White House over Rose Garden event, urges testing

October 8, 2020
| No Comments
| Dept Of Health

In an extraordinary step, the Washington, D.C., Department of Health has released an open letter appealing to all White House staff and anyone who attended a Sept. 26 event in the Rose Garden to seek medical advice and take a COVID-19 test.

The letter indicates a lack of confidence in the White House medical team’s own contact tracing efforts regarding an ongoing virus outbreak that has infected President Donald Trump, multiple senior staff members and two U.S. senators, among others.

Co-signed by nine other local health departments from neighboring jurisdictions in Maryland and Virginia, the letter flatly states a belief that contact tracing on the outbreak has been insufficient.

It says the public appeal is based on, “our preliminary understanding that there has been limited contact tracing performed to date, there may be other staff and residents at risk for exposure to COVID positive individuals.”

It asks all White House

Governor Charlie Baker talks with Salem Mayor Kimberley Driscoll after his press conference inside the Olde Main Street Pub, during the continuing coronavirus pandemic. Inside he was joined by Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack, and Driscoll to make an announcement about the Shared Streets and Spaces Grant Program.

The Department of Public Health issued recommendations based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that condone trick-or-treating and other festivities as long as people follow safety precautions.

Gov. Charlie Baker, who said he wouldn’t issue a mandate limiting or canceling Halloween events, said letting the celebrations continue under existing COVID-19 restrictions could deter people from hosting private Halloween parties that could become super-spreader events.

Limit contact with grandparents, public health urges Montrealers as community spread grows

October 7, 2020
| No Comments
| Community Health

Montreal’s director of public health says a worrying trend is emerging in the second wave of COVID-19 cases in the city — a growing share of new cases are people aged 65 and older.

Public health is asking Montrealers to keep their distance from their older family members, even if they live in the same home.

“We see that it is quite different from what we were seeing in the first wave,” said Dr. Mylène Drouin, the public health director for Montreal. Last spring, most of the older Montrealers who caught COVID-19 were infected in long-term care homes.

The difference today is that about half of cases in those aged 65 and over are people living in their own homes or in private seniors’ residences.

Drouin said this means that parents should make alternative childcare arrangements and refrain from having family dinners for now.

“Maybe it is not secure to

Health Department urges safe Halloween with household members at home and not trick-or-treating

October 7, 2020
| No Comments
| Dept Of Health

The Department of Health is encouraging everyone to find fun alternatives to Halloween traditions to avoid “the scare of being exposed or spreading the coronavirus.”

DOH recommends celebrating with household members at home and avoiding trick-or-treating door to door or wherever treats are handed to children or taken from a shared bucket.

This would involve what DOH classifies as a high-risk activity since it may result in close contact or crowding with others outside one’s household.

“It’s more important to put safety first,” Health Director Elizabeth Char said in a news release. “Gatherings on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day led to spikes in positive cases in Hawaii.

“This Halloween, be extra mindful as you navigate how to safely celebrate in order to keep the spread of coronavirus as low as possible during this holiday.”

Some fun and safe activities being planned by some communities include contactless trick-or-treating and

Health Department Urges Residents to Get Flu Vaccine as the COVID-19 Pandemic Continues

Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine today urged residents to get their flu vaccine at the start of flu season as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

“Every flu season is different, but this flu season leaves a lot of unknowns,” Dr. Levine said. “One thing we do know is the flu is serious and can be deadly, which is why it is extremely important that Pennsylvanians are receiving their flu vaccine now. In addition to getting your flu vaccine, it is essential to take other preventative measures to protect yourself from the spread of the flu. There is no better measure to protect yourself from flu than to get a flu vaccine.”

This year, both the flu shot and nasal spray are available and recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older to protect
