Protect Each Other Toolkit Promotes Coronavirus Safety

The graphic above displays the three simple steps we can all take to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Part of the Orange County Health Care Agency's (OCHCA) new Face, Hands & Feet campaign, the Protect Each Other Toolkit comes in 10 languages and contains free resources that all communities (including University Hills) are encouraged to use. Downloadable materials include social media banners and informational flyers on how to wear a face covering, what to do if you test positive for COVID-19, quarantining at home, and more. The toolkit also includes sample language supporting the campaign that could be used in a newsletter. Check it out! How to Report and Dispose of Dead Birds Have you seen dead birds around University Hills? Several residents have reported seeing dead birds on or near their homes recently. Please review information from the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District about what to do if you find a dead bird: Do not handle the bird with your bare hands. Dispose of the bird’s carcass (body): Carefully and without touching the bird, place the carcass in a plastic bag by inverting the bag over it (or use gloves), tie the bag, and dispose of the carcass in your trash container (do not place the bird in your green waste or recyclable materials container), then thoroughly wash your hands. Though disposal of dead animals is very unlikely to transmit West Nile Virus, proper handling of the carcass and hand washing is recommended to minimize the possibility of transmitting other diseases. Due to COVID-19, the District has suspended the dead bird program at this time. Reports of dead birds can still be submitted to westnile.ca.gov for risk mapping.
