(Santa Ana, CA) - The National Weather Service (NWS) has forecasted cold overnight temperatures throughout inland and coastal Orange County cities beginning Wednesday, March 1 through Thursday, March 2. Overnight temperatures in many areas throughout the county will dip to the mid-30s tonight and stay in the low-to-mid 40s through Saturday. Colder-than-normal temperatures increase the risk of cold-related illnesses like hypothermia, especially for those who are more sensitive to extreme weather changes.
 
When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Low body temperature may make you unable to think clearly or move well. Hypothermia occurs most likely at very cold temperatures, but it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water.
 
“When prolonged exposure to very cold temperatures occurs, it is important to make certain that you are protected from hypothermia. In addition, it is critical to check that seniors who live alone, your neighbors, pets and vulnerable populations are safe during this time,” said Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong, County Health Officer and OC Health Care Agency Acting Chief of Public Health Services.
 
The County of Orange Cold Weather Emergency Shelter is open to serve adults, ages 18 and older. For information on accessing the shelter, please visit OC Cold Weather Shelter Flyer 1.27.2023.pdf (ocgov.com) or call (657) 520-9185.
 
Residents are also cautioned against using their kitchen range or oven to heat their homes. Home furnaces and heaters should be inspected periodically, with needed repairs performed by a qualified and licensed heating or plumbing contractor. If space heaters are used, make sure there is nothing within three feet of the heater that could catch on fire, such as bedding, drapes, or furniture. Never cover your space heater and never leave children unattended near a space heater. If electric power is lost during a storm, never use a gasoline powered generator indoors, in a garage or near doors or windows where air may enter a home due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
 
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that at high levels of exposure can be fatal. Low levels of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused with flu symptoms, food poisoning or other illnesses and can have a long-term health risk if left unattended. Some of the symptoms of low-level exposure include shortness of breath, mild nausea and mild headaches. Moderate levels of carbon monoxide exposure can present with headaches, dizziness, nausea, and lightheadedness. Every home should have a carbon monoxide detector, which is very similar to a smoke detector.
 
Recommended precautions to prepare your household for cold weather or power outage:

• Check on those who are at high risk to make sure they are staying warm – including seniors who live alone, as well as other vulnerable populations such as young children.
• Make sure to check on your pets.
• Wear layers of clothing. 

For more information on cold weather safety, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/index.html.

Press Release in Spanish

Press Release in Vietnamese

Press Release in Korean

Press Release in Chinese

(Santa Ana, CA) — Several public health messages were announced recently by a variety of government agencies, including the White House, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regarding the COVID-19 public health emergency end dates, available resources for COVID-19 and HIV testing moving forward, and important product recalls.
 

Federal and State – COVID-19 Public Health Emergency End Date Planned

The Federal Government and State of California have each announced plans to end the COVID-19 public health emergency. President Biden announced plans to end the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023 (White House Announcement), while Governor Newsom announced an end to the COVID-19 State of Emergency on February 28, 2023 (Governor Newsom’s Announcement).
 
As COVID-19 continues to adversely affect individuals, everyone is strongly advised to make informed decisions to prevent severe COVID-19 illness. The County Health Officer strongly recommends all county residents consider creating the following COVID-19 Action Plan for themselves:

• Know your risk. Those with a weakened immune system or live with someone who does, are strongly encouraged to take preventive measures to minimize the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
• Protect yourself. Get an updated bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, improve ventilation, wash hands often, wear a well-fitted mask.
• Take action if exposed. Monitor symptoms, consider wearing a mask around others when in public and test for COVID if you develop symptoms or if you plan to come into contact with someone who may have a weakened immune system.
• Take action if you develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. Get tested and consider treatment- visit the Test to Treat website to find a location for treatment.

For more information visit: www.Information for Persons Who Are Immunocompromised Regarding Prevention and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the Context of Currently Circulating Omicron Sublineages — United States, January 2023 | MMWR (cdc.gov)

Receiving an updated bivalent COVID-19 vaccine remains the most effective way to prevent severe COVID-19 illness. Eligible individuals who have not yet received their bivalent booster are encouraged to do so. Visit www.vaccines.gov.
 
Additionally, testing and treatment are important measures to help immediately detect illness and reduce chances of developing severe illness from COVID-19 for those at high risk. CDPH recently launched a public message campaign “Test It, Treat It, You Can Beat It!” Visit CDPH website www.youcanbeatit.org for more information on prevention, testing and treatment.
 

Increased Community Access to COVID-19 Testing Program

Last month, CDC launched the Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) program. The ICATT program provides access to COVID-19 testing in communities at greater risk of being impacted by the pandemic, for people without health insurance, and for surge testing in state and local jurisdictions.
 
The ICATT program created the No-Cost COVID-19 testing locator webpage to help residents find COVID-19 testing locations and to provide contact information for the providers. The testing locator searches for testing providers using a ZIP Code or street address and will prompt users to the nearest location(s) to make an appointment for a test.
 

New At-Home HIV Test Kits Website Launched

To support ongoing efforts to end the HIV epidemic, CDPH, Office of AIDS (CDPH-OA) recently announced the launch of an OraQuick HIV self-testing program to all counties in California through the Building Healthy Online Communities: Take Me Home program (BHOC-TMH).
 
This program puts an effective free HIV screening tool directly into the hands of Californians (ages 17+) who request it via the BHOC-TMH website. The BHOC partnership developed the National Home Test Kits program for state and local health departments to offer confidential HIV and comprehensive sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing delivered securely and discreetly directly to constituents.
 
“HIV remains a public health challenge and knowing your HIV status helps prevent new infections,” said Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong, the County Health Officer and HCA’s Acting Chief of Public Health Services. “This new resource supports testing through a secure and discreet at-home option and increases access for people with limited transportation or mobility.”
 
For more information visit, https://takemehome.org/.
 
Local support is available at the OC Health Care Agency/17th Street Testing, Treatment and Care Clinic: Call (714) 834-8787 to make an appointment or visit.
 

Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas Infection Associated with Artificial Tears

On February 1, 2023, CDC issued a Health Alert Advisory about infections with an extensively drug-resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-GES-CRPA) in 12 states. Most patients reported using more than 10 different brands of artificial tears with some patients using multiple brands. Many patients reported using EzriCare Artificial Tears, a preservative-free, over-the-counter product packaged in multidose bottles.

Patients and health care providers are advised to immediately discontinue using EzriCare Artificial Tears pending additional guidance from CDC and FDA, and patients should follow up with their health care provider for an alternative artificial tears product to use.

Anyone using EzriCare Artificial Tears and who has signs or symptoms of an eye infection, such as discharge from the eye, eye pain or discomfort, redness of the eye or eyelid, feeling of something in the eye, increased sensitivity to light, or blurry vision, should seek timely medical care. At this time, CDC does not recommend testing of patients who have used this product and who are not experiencing any signs or symptoms of infection.

The full CDC Health Alert Notification can be viewed HERE.  
 

FDA Recalls “Diep Bao Cream” for Lead Contamination

FDA recently issued a recall of Shop Me Ca’s “Diep Bao Cream” baby cream because the 10-gram tubes have the potential to be contaminated with lead. Diep Bao Cream was sold nationwide through Shop Me Ca’s Facebook page and Vietnamese Moms’ Facebook groups.
 
Residents should stop using the product and dispose of it immediately. Consumers with questions may contact the company at shopemeca91@gmail.com. More information about this recall is available on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website.

TUSTIN, Calif. (February 8, 2023) – Those searching for their perfect match should look no further than OC Animal Care! Throughout February 2023, the shelter is waiving adoption fees for dogs 25 pounds and over, guaranteeing adopters a date for Valentine’s Day and a best friend for life.

OC Animal Care held an adoption promotion in January 2023, nearly doubling the number of adoptions during the same month in 2022 with 119 dogs that were 25+ pounds finding their forever home. With such success, OC Animal Care is excited to continue waiving adoption fees to highlight and encourage adoptions of medium- to large-sized dogs throughout February 2023.

Dogs, such as Hunter, Kaylie, and Nathan, are ready for their chance at love this Valentine’s Day!

Hunter (A1754123)

OC Animal Care received a call about a dog wandering around a tire shop and arrived to rescue this sweet boy! Since being in the shelter’s care, staff and volunteers learned that Hunter is an active boy who never tires of playing fetch and loves to explore new places. Hunter loves going on walks more than he likes treats, but that doesn't mean he'll pass up a yummy cookie! Hunter seems to prefer women over men, but with the proper introduction and timing, he is open to meeting everyone! Hunter is looking for a home with kids ages 16 years and older.

Kaylie (A1757073)

Kaylie arrived at OC Animal Care as a stray when a good Samaritan found her wandering around alone. Upon arrival, the veterinary team noticed Kaylie has a skin condition that may cause her to be a little itchy at times, but it doesn't prevent her from loving life! This sweet girl loves going on walks and running around with her favorite human friends in the play yard. Kaylie is an energetic pup who is very friendly towards everyone she meets!

Nathan (A1754031)

Arriving at OC Animal Care in February 2022 as a stray, Nathan is currently the shelter’s longest-stay resident. His always-happy personality has stolen the hearts of staff and volunteers! Nathan is a wise middle-aged boy who loves going on a walk with his favorite human and then relaxing right by their side. But show him a toy and you'll find that he can be as playful as a 3-month puppy!  

Those adopting dogs 25 pounds and over will have their adoption fee waived, which includes microchipping, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and anti-parasite treatment. Waived adoption fees do not include licensing fees or puppies six months of age or younger.  

The adoption promotion is available to residents of any city. With over 400 adoption visits available per week, potential adopters can pre-schedule an adoption visit today by calling (714) 935-6848 or drop by for a walk-in visit. Walk-ins are welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis as staffing allows. To view available animals at OC Animal Care, visit ocpetinfo.com.

Every Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., OC Animal Care continues to spotlight dogs who are ready to find their forever homes at Pooches on the Patio, a meet-and-greet style event, where dogs show off their large and loveable personalities. Throughout February, Pooches on the Patio will feature dogs that are eligible for the waived adoption fee promotion.  

For more information on ways the community can support the animals at the shelter, visit ocpetinfo.com/get-involved. Those interested in assisting the shelter’s efforts in caring for pets in need can easily do so by viewing OC Animal Care’s Amazon Wishlist.
