As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) begins to surface in the Greater Houston Area, The Woodlands Township is taking preventative measures and is committed to keeping residents and businesses informed.The Woodlands Township is working closely with public health and human services (Montgomery County Public Health District and Harris County Public Health District) on behalf of The Woodlands residents, businesses and visitors.“The Woodlands Township, Directors and staff are working closely with all these organizations proactively implementing protocols for public spaces and in messaging to the community,” said Chairman Bunch.Chairman Bunch participated in Friday’s CountywideElected Officials and First Responders Coronavirus (COVID-19) update led by Montgomery County Public Health District and Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. On Saturday, March 7, 2020, Chairman Bunch participated in a meeting with Texas Department of State Health Services alongside other local, county and state elected officials to discuss statewide COVID-19 recommendations, plans and protocols. This meeting was led by the Commissioner of Health,Dr. John Hellerstedt, who shared proactive preventative measures that communities, businesses and individuals should take to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 that would also reduce the spread of Influenza.“We have taken steps at our public office buildings and recreational facilities to make sure we keep these areas wiped down with a high-grade disinfectant and multi-purpose cleaners including lavatories, counters, tables, workout equipment, chairs and other high touch point surfaces,” Bunch said. “We strongly encourage our businesses and residents to proactively implement the same precautionary measures.”Late Friday evening, the Montgomery County Public Health District reported one case of possible COVID-19in MontgomeryCounty, as seen on KPRC in Houston. https://www.click2houston.com/health/2020/03/05/man-woman-confirmed-to-be-first-cases-of-coronavirus-confirmed-in-harris-county/ A possible case is not a presumptive case or a confirmed case.Chairman Bunch added, “A presumptive case means a patient tested positive at a state level lab and a confirmed case represents CDC confirming as positive. At this time, we have no known presumptive or confirmed cases involving residents of The Woodlands. Houston has a state level lab operating with a 24-hour turnaround time. We are not receiving the numbers of COVID-19 tests administered and have been told the majority tested are negative for COVID-19 and that those patients had Influenza or a common cold.”People that suspect they may have or have come in contact with someone COVID-19 positive are encouraged to stay home and work with medical officials from their home to coordinate monitoring orneeded testing. Hospitals have special intake teams to coordinate accepting potential COVID-19 patients.“The Woodlands Township will be notified if any of our residents are presumptive or confirmed to have COVID-19,” Chairman Bunch said.Chairman Bunch added, “The Texas Department of State Health Services also confirmed cases are reported in the county of residency for the patient while treatments can be occurring if differing counties.”“The Greater Houston Area and Montgomery County are blessed with world class medical facilities,” Bunch said. “Patients with symptoms of COVID-19, Influenza and other infectious diseases are being treated in these facilities that are equipped, trained and ready to adhere to treatment, testing and quarantine protocols.”Bunch added, “We have learned the Houston Area confirmed cases are travel related with all confirmed individuals returning from the same Nile River Cruise in Egypt. Individuals that have had contact with these confirmed cases are being monitored by public health officials. Egypt has been added to the Travel Advisory along with China, Japan, Italy, Iran and South Korea. More regions will be added as needed.”All Township operations and services are continuing to operate, including the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Shuttle on Township buses the first three weekends of March. The Township will continuously monitor and post updates.“We urge our residents, business and visitors not be alarmed at the situation, but just be vigilant about best practices and have a plan to implement in the event The Woodlands is exposed to the virus,” Chairman Bunch said. “While we are hopeful the virus will soon be contained, it is always wise to be prepared.”FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat are the symptoms of COVID‑19?Patients with COVID‑19 have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness. Symptoms can include:FeverCoughShortness of breathAt this time, CDC believes that symptoms of COVID‑19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS coronaviruses.How can I prevent COVID‑19?There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID‑19. The best way to prevent infection is to take precautions to avoid exposure to this virus, which are similar to the precautions you take to avoid the flu. DSHS always recommends these everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.Avoid close contact with people who are sick.Stay home when you are sick.Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.Follow the CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask:The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID‑19.Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID‑19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).Here are important links regarding the coronavirus:Montgomery County Public Health Districthttps://mcphd-tx.org/Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Managementhttps://mctxoem.org/Harris County Public Health Districthttp://www.hcphtx.org/Resources/2019-Novel-CoronavirusHarris County Office of Emergency Managementhttps://www.readyharris.org/Texas Department of State Health Serviceshttps://www.dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/Centers for Disease Control and Preventionhttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.htmlConroe ISDhttps://www.conroeisd.net/department/health-services/2019-novel-coronavirus/Tomball ISDhttps://www.tomballisd.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=307639&type=d&pREC_ID=1843043Magnolia ISDhttps://www.magnoliaisd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=256217&type=d&pREC_ID=1844196For more information on The Woodlands Township, please call 281-210-3800 or visit www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov.SOURCE: https://www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2943

The Woodlands Water Agency continues to monitor Coronavirus / COVID-19 guidance from federal and state government agencies. The emergence of COVID-19 has caused understandable questions about public health and local water supplies.To be clear, the water supply in The Woodlands, as provided by the 10 municipal utility districts (MUDs) in our area, is safe. Water in The Woodlands continues to be certified by the State of Texas as a “Superior Water System.”Federally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide helpful resources about COVID-19 and the safety of drinking water.According to the CDC: “The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”More CDC information is available at:www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/water.htmlAccording to the EPA: “The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies. Based on current evidence, the risk to water supplies is low. Americans can continue to use and drink water from their tap as usual. EPA has established regulations with treatment requirements for public water systems that prevent waterborne pathogens such as viruses from contaminating drinking water and wastewater. COVID-19 is a type of virus that is particularly susceptible to disinfection and standard treatment and disinfectant processes are expected to be effective.”More EPA information is available at:www.epa.gov/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-drinking-water-and-wastewaterLocally, the San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA), which provides water to The Woodlands, advised: “As a wholesale water provider, the safety and health of the communities we serve is our top priority. The water professionals on our staff have always worked 24/7 year-round to maintain our quality of service to the community, and we will continue to do so through this COVID-19 event. Our water and wastewater treatment systems remain safe. We have already made plans in the event that there are any impacts to our supply chain, such as chemical and material suppliers. We continue to plan for successfully meeting the current challenges.”Please continue to heed the public health guidance of federal and state officials, stay safe, and take care of your family and friends.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY OFFICIALS CONTINUE TO MONITOR CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAKStatus Update from the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management on Home Buyout ProgramFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:March 6, 2020 - 5:00 PMFor more information, please contact: Misti Willingham, Public Information OfficerC:  936.537.0611 CONROE – Montgomery County Public Health District, in conjunction with the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management, continue to monitor the coronavirus outbreak that began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. As of 4:30 p.m. today, there are no confirmed cases of residents in our county, but we are diligently working with our partners at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DSHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to keep our healthcare providers in the county and the public informed. MCPHD is currently in Phase 2 of our response plan, which means we have Persons Under Investigation (PUI). That number changes from day to day, so we will only be releasing information on positive tests.For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low. At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19, and no medications approved to treat it. A vaccine is being developed, but experts warn that it could take a year or more. Non-pharmaceutical interventions like hand-washing, disinfecting surfaces around your home, and staying home when you are sick are the most important response strategies.Although the risk for the general public in Texas remains low, the Texas Department of State Health Services is urging health care professionals to ask patients with respiratory symptoms about their travel history and contact their local or regional health department if they think a patient may have COVID-19. DSHS is working with local health departments to monitor and assess people with recent travel to China for possible COVID-19 testing.All travelers who have returned from flagged countries should stay home and monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days. They should call ahead to a health care provider if they develop fever, cough or shortness of breath within that period. Local health departments across the state are in contact daily with returned travelers to verify that they remain symptom-free.Human coronaviruses most commonly spread from an infected person to others within about six feet through respiratory droplets released into the air by coughing and sneezing, close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands; touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands; and rarely, fecal contamination.Patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath. The CDC believes that symptoms of 2019-nCoV may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure.If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from flagged countries and have fever and respiratory symptoms. If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures. If you have been in flagged countries or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity. Cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient before arriving to seek medical care.The best way to prevent infection is to take precautions to avoid exposure to this virus, which are similar to the precautions you take to avoid the flu.·         Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.·         Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.·         Avoid close contact with people who are sick.·         Stay home when you are sick.·         Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.·         Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. For more information, please see https://www.dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/.Montgomery County Public Health District’s mission is promoting a healthy, resilient community through health education, disease prevention, clinical services, and emergency preparedness.  For more information about the Montgomery County Public Health District please go to www.mcphd-tx.org. SOURCE: https://www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2942
