BEND, OR -- St Charles Health System is asking visitors to take precautions when visiting hospitals and clinics. Anyone with a fever, cough or difficulty breathing should wear a mask and wash their hands. Anyone who has traveled outside the country within the last 2-weeks or, has been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19, should notify a Saint Charles caregiver. They are also asking people who are sick and believe they’ve been exposed to COVID-19 to call their own health care provider before going to a hospital or clinic to minimize exposure.
