Washington County Public Health’s (WCPH) Communicable Disease program works closely with schools, daycares, camps and other child care facilities to prevent the start and spread of infectious diseases among staff and attendees.
For information on what and when to report to WCPH, please refer to this resource:
Facilities should refer to guidance from state partners for guidance on school exclusion:
- K-12 Schools: ODE/OHA Communicable Disease Guidance for Schools
- Early Learning and Childcare: Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) Rules for Child Care Providers
Families can help prevent the spread of illness by encouraging regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, staying up to date with immunizations, and staying home when sick.
