Museums For All featured on the Oregon Heritage Exchange

Learn more on the Oregon Heritage Exchange Blog<https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2020/12/11/breaking-down-barriers-museums-for-all-initiative/> about how the Museums For All program helps museums reach underserved communities by offering free or reduced admission to those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits). One of the opportunities through this program is to collaborate with other museums in your area to leverage the program through "Hub Cities". Collaboration just happens to be the focus of the Oregon Heritage 2021 Summit<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Conferences-&-Workshops.aspx#two> so we will be featuring different kinds of collaborations as we approach the Summit, April 29-30, 2021.

OHA updates guidance for quarantine
*taken from https://govstatus.egov.com/OR-OHA-COVID-19

If you have been near someone with COVID-19, you may have been exposed to the virus. You need to quarantine to keep from spreading the virus to someone else. Stay home and at least six feet away from everyone, including the people you live with, for 14 days.

A 14-day quarantine is the safest option to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others.
If you have not had any symptoms, you may consider ending quarantine early:

  *   After 10 days, without any testing, or
  *   After seven days, if you have had a negative result from an antigen or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that was administered less than 48 hours before you end quarantine.

If you choose to shorten your quarantine period, there is a small chance you may spread the disease to others post-quarantine so it is critical that you continue to monitor yourself for symptoms daily. If you develop symptoms, you should continue to avoid contact with others and call your healthcare provider to discuss testing.
For support and resources or if you have questions during your quarantine call 211 or visit the 211 website<https://covid19.211info.org/>.
