Elementary school closed in Oregon, US, due to coronavirus risk
The most recent coronavirus case in the United States has led to the temporary closure of an elementary school in Portland after authorities confirmed that the infected person worked at the school.

The new case in Oregon — the first in that state — was reported on Friday. It’s the third case of unknown origin in the US.

More from AP:

“The case was not a person under monitoring or a person under investigation. The individual had neither a history of travel to a country where the virus was circulating, nor is believed to have had a close contact with another confirmed case the two most common sources of exposure,” the Oregon Health Authority said in a statement.

The Lake Oswego School District sent a robocall to parents saying that Forest Hills Elementary will be closed until Wednesday so it can be deep-cleaned by maintenance workers.

Health authorities planned to spend the weekend scrambling to find everyone the unidentified person, who has been hospitalised, had been in contact with.

Hours before the case emerged, the state ramped up efforts to combat an outbreak amid potential challenges, including closing schools, businesses and events, and sustained shortages of medical supplies.

At a hastily called news conference, state health officials did not release details on the person, citing patient privacy. But they said the person had spent time at the elementary school, located in a Portland suburb.

“State and local authorities are responding quickly to this case,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown told the Portland news conference. Brown urged people not to panic.

Authorities are monitoring 78 people in Oregon for signs of the virus. Another 178 have completed monitoring without developing systems. Two more developed symptoms but tested negative.

The case brings the number of people in the US with the novel coronavirus to 62.

@DEAD7

Spoiler

Didn't vote for Trump the first time, don't plan to this time... unless Bernie is the nominee.
No :juelzing: if its Bernie or Trump, I'm voting Trump.
Hopefully its Steyer or Warren.
Bigotry & capitalism >>> Socialism

You're gonna be sick to your stomach when you realize how many Americans feel this way and Trump is re-elected.

Lets not derail this thread.
We can discuss elsewhere.

@DEAD7 while you're here can you discuss your feelings on public sidewalks and public health in relation to the Corona Virus and addressing pandemics?

The imperative nature of the situation is so great that all traditional conceptions of individual liberty should be swept aside IMHO
Federal prohibitions and restrictions on travel as well as quarantines all make sense in this case.

… and before the "free market" tropes fly in, there is no market mechanism that will solve this particular problem.
