Americans are being asked to continue to participate in the 2020 Census by completing the census questionnaire.  The easiest thing to do it to go online to MY 2020 Census DOT GOV (https://my2020census.gov/login)   If you don’t have the ability to do the census online – you can do the questionnaire by phone.  Call 844-330-2020.  Whether you do the 2020 census online or by phone – the Warm Springs Complete Count Committee asks that you take time to do your census today, if you haven’t already done so.

Symptoms for COVID-19 can include: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, New loss of taste or smell.  These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus and range from mild symptoms to severe illness.  If you have symptoms you can call the Registered Nurse Health Advice Hotline at 1-866-470-2015.
