INCIDENT SUMMARY
A novel (new) coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.
It has since been detected in over 100 countries, including the U.S. The World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a “pandemic” on March 11th, 2020. A
pandemic is defined as a worldwide spread of a new disease. The United States has
over 75,000 cases, over 1,000 deaths and over 600 recovered. Globally, almost
523,000 have been infected, over 23,000 are deceased and over 122,000 recovered.
There have been 11 deaths and 316 confirmed cases in Oregon. The Clackamas
County EOC has been activated since February 28th.
Health officials emphasize the importance of social distancing, and health
precautions such as hand washing and avoiding touching your face. Health officials
are providing coordination services to make sure our health care system maintains
capacity.
President Trump signed the second phase of the coronavirus emergency aid package
into law late Wednesday, 3/18. The legislation provides paid sick and family leave for
some U.S. workers impacted by the illness, expands unemployment assistance,
includes nutrition assistance, and increases resources for testing.

INCIDENT UPDATES
On 3/25/20 The Senate unanimously passed the country’s largest stimulus relief bill at two trillion
dollars. The bill is being voted on by the House today 2/26, and President Trump is expecte d to sign it.
The bill includes direct relief payments;
o $1,200 for individuals (with a social security number) earning less than $75,000, and $500 for
each child under 16 years old.
o Married couples with no children earning $150,000 or less would receive a total of $2,400.
o Above those income figures, the payment decreases until it stops altogether for single people
earning $99,000 or married people earning $198,000.
o Most payments are expected via direct deposit within three weeks.
o Most people receiving social security retirement and disability will receive these payments.
Eligible unemployed individuals will also receive the payments.
The new bill greatly expands unemployment benefits to include self -employed, part-time, and gig
economy workers.
o Unemployment benefits often replace roughly 40 to 45 percent of a worker’s income. The
expansion under this bill would pay an extra amount to fill the gap.
o Under the plan, eligible workers would get an extra $600 per week on top of their state benefit
o The bill would provide all eligible workers with an additional 13 weeks of unemployment
benefits.
In Oregon, participants would be eligible for unemployment benefits for a total of 39
weeks (previously 26 weeks). The total amount in any state cannot exceed 39 weeks, but
it may be shorter in certain states.
Until Sept. 30, there will be automatic payment suspensions for any student loan held by the federal
government.
The bill would put a temporary, nationwide eviction moratorium in place for any renters whose
landlords have mortgages backed or owned by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other federal entities.

testing decision in large part to clinicians. Given the growing availability of testing,
providers may decide to proceed based on their judgement, without Public Health
approval.
