State Health Department Cancels SHS Covid Testing Site

0
Home of the Salem Lions

Just a few days after being selected by the Indiana Department of Health and the Washington County Health Department, Salem High School has been canceled as a Covid-19 testing site due to public outcry. 

“Due to numerous complaints made to the State by community members, the ISDH strike team has canceled the testing for next week at the Salem High School,” according to a statement released to the school today through the local health department. 

“This event will be rescheduled once the ISDH can find another location to host the testing.  We will send this information out once it becomes available to us,” according to the health department. 

Salem Schools Superintendent Jon Action said the ISDH and the Washington County Health Department were looking for facilities to be a possible location for an emergency site due to Covid-19 in the spring. 

“They looked at the [National Guard] armory, the [Bradie M. Shrum] safe room and the [high school] Fieldhouse (gymnasium),” said Acton. “The fieldhouse was their preference.  We agreed to accommodate the state in March or June.”
 
Now, several months later with Washington County now designated a “Red” county, the state had prepared to send in a group to do testing for the county.
 
According to the ISDH, four testing sites are offered around the state each week.
 
“When choosing counties for state-run testing, we look at areas that have limited testing available or counties that are in red or orange,” said an ISDH representative. “We ask local health departments to identify locations in their community. The local health department chose the high school as the location for Washington County…”
 
However, a story published by WSLM earlier this week about the testing site drew much criticism regarding the location. 
 
Acton said the high school gym was chosen due to its centralized location for the county and the size and accessibility of the building.
 
Acton said the state originally looked to Salem Community Schools as a regional emergency Covid Site in the spring. He said the high school fieldhouse was selected over other county options for Covid Testing, Vaccine Distribution, and hospitalization overflow. 
 
Acton said the high school would be shut down while Covid testing would have been completed next week. 
 
“No one will access any other parts of the building except the fieldhouse,” he said,  from Dec. 8 thru the 12th to anyone not involved in Covid testing.
 
“Athletics [would have] move[d] practices and potential games to SMS and BSE next week,” Acton said.
 
He said the fieldhouse would have been deep cleaned before and after the testing.

0

On Wednesday, December 2, 2020, the Indiana State Police concluded a lengthy drug investigation by arresting Jacob Bachman, age 36, and Erica Hopper, age 48, both of Orleans, Indiana. 

They were charged as follows:

Jacob D. Bachman, 36, Orleans, IN

  • Dealing Methamphetamine, Level 3 Felony

Erica L. Hopper, 48, Orleans, IN

  • Dealing Methamphetamine, Level 4 Felony

The Indiana State Police had received information that both Bachman and Hopper were dealing methamphetamine in and around Orleans, and Mitchell, Indiana.

The Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section initiated an investigation which led to information that Bachman and Hopper were indeed distributing methamphetamine in the Orleans and Mitchell areas.

Jacob Bachman was arrested today on an active warrant issued out of Orange Circuit Court, for Dealing Methamphetamine, a Level 3 Felony.

Erica Hopper was also arrested today on an active warrant issued out of Orange Circuit Court, for Dealing Methamphetamine, a Level 4 Felony. 

Indiana State Police Trooper Chance Humphrey, with the assistance of Officer Drew Henderson of the Orleans Police Department and Officer Shaun Cabral of the Mitchell Police Department, located both individuals at the West Gate Manor apartment complex in Orleans, Indiana.

They were taken into custody without incident and were transported to the Orange County Jail, where both are currently being detained.  

 

Scott County Health Department Provides Guidance

0
Over the last several weeks Scott County has been reporting record high COVID-19 cases.
 
The Scott County Health Department was notified yesterday by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) that the county would move from an “orange” advisory level to “red” on the Indiana Department of Health County Metric Dashboard map.
 
Being in a red level advisory means the county is seeing the highest amount of community spread.
 
The dashboard map can be found here https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2393.htm.
 
Information on how metrics are calculated can be found here: https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/…/CountyScoringMapDetail… .
 
Scott County Health Officer Dr. Kevin Rogers states, “It is concerning to see the high number of new cases in our county. This virus does not discriminate and citizens of all ages have become ill. I encourage everyone to follow guidelines to best protect themselves and their loved ones.”
 
High-Risk Populations
 
Anyone who is considered high-risk, 65 and older, or immunocompromised should limit their outings and exposures.
 
K-12 Schools
All sporting events or extracurricular activities will be allowed to have participants, parents/guardians’ of participants and essential personal. Contact your school district for more information.
 
Gatherings Limited to 25 People
In accordance to Indiana’s Executive Order, 20-48 all gatherings indoor or outdoor will be limited to 25 people. If the gathering wishes to have more than 25 people they must submit a plan to the Scott County Health Department for approval (7) days before the event.
 
Religious Gatherings
Scott County Health Department acknowledges the religious exemptions in Indiana Executive Order 20-48.
 
We encourage churches to provide virtual services to limit exposure at in-person gatherings if social distancing and face-covering guidelines cannot be followed.
 
Protect Yourself and Others
COVID-19 spreads easily from person to person, mainly by the following routes:
 
• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or talks.
• Respiratory droplets cause infection when they are inhaled or deposited on mucous membranes, such as those that line the inside of the nose and mouth.
• People who are infected but do not have symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can also spread the virus to others.
 
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask or face shield when around others, especially within 6 feet of others.
 
Monitor your health daily and get tested if you are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed.
 
Those who are positive must self-isolate for 10 days. Those who are exposed must quarantine for 14 days after their last known contact with a positive case.
 
Scott County will combat the spread of this virus by working together to follow public health guidelines and requirements.
 
These guidelines will not be lifted any sooner than December 22nd in accordance with Indiana’s Executive Order 20-48.
 
For any questions or concerns reach out to the Scott County Health Department at 812.752.8455.
