Health Update
Cambrian School District, January 31, 2020
Dear Cambrian Families,
Santa Clara County health officials Friday afternoon said that a man who resides in Santa Clara County has tested positive for the Novel Coronavirus. County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody said the man recently traveled to Wuhan, returned January 24 to the Mineta San Jose International Airport and then became sick after getting home.
He has been “self-isolating” at home since returning and only left to seek outpatient medical treatment on two occasions. Dr. Cody mentioned the patient has not been sick enough to require hospitalization and that county Health Officials are investigating/monitoring health officials, airline, and home contacts.
Dr. Cody reiterated the importance of common-sense precautions to prevent the spread of all infectious diseases:
- If you’re sick, stay home.
- Wash your hands and don’t touch your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Recommends to get your Flu shot.
Dr. Cody emphasized that there is no evidence that the virus is spreading anywhere in the county, Bay Area or Northern California. The two other confirmed cases in California are in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and are being monitored closely.
Federal Health and Human services declared a public health emergency and announced significant entry restrictions due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Americans returning from China will be allowed into the country, but will face screening at select ports of entry and required to undertake 14 days of self-screening to ensure they don’t pose a health risk. Those returning from Hubei province, the center of the outbreak, will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine.
