Oregon has its first presumed case of novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. The person believed to be infected lives in Washington County and is an employee at Forest Hills Elementary School in Lake Oswego, according to Oregon Health Authority.
An email to the community from Lake Oswego Superintendent Lorna de la Cruz said that the person is in a role at Forest Hills Elementary that does not typically come in contact with students.
"At this point it appears that this person likely only had close contact with a few individuals; they will be asked to stay home from work or school for two weeks," de la Cruz said.
A separate email sent from the Lake Oswego School District Friday night said the school will be closed through Wednesday, March 4. The school will be deep cleaned. All activities at district schools are canceled this weekend. It's expected other schools in the district will be operational on Monday.
