Gov. Kate Brown has announced that all K-12 public schools in the state of Oregon will be closed Monday through the end of March.
The school closure announcement comes on the heels of Brown’s decision to ban public gatherings of more than 250 people for four weeks.
Brown said she heard from superintendents, teachers, parents and school board members who said they were struggling to operate in the wake of staff shortages and student absences. The governor said a lot of concern was also voiced for teachers over the age of 60 with underlying medical issues.
Brown is calling on school districts to develop plans to operate schools when students return on Wednesday, April 1.

The results came back positive. Health officials say he has mild to moderate symptoms, is in stable condition and remains quarantined at home on Oahu.
The state's second case involves an elderly man who is in serious condition at Kaiser Permanente's Moanalua hospital. He visited Washington state, became sick on March 2 and flew back from Seattle to Honolulu two days later on Hawaiian Airlines HA21 while showing symptoms. He visited an urgent care clinic and returned home, where his condition worsened. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital on Saturday.
The Queen's Medical center has set up triage tents at its Punchbow Street location but it's only for those who are exhibiting flu-like symptoms.

…. Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!
