Oregon Health & Science University has unveiled a toll-free hotline for people anywhere in the state seeking guidance about symptoms and care for COVID-19. The hotline, or Connected Care Center, is staffed by OHSU registered nurses and other clinicians.

Oregonians can call 833-OHSU-CCC (833-647-8222) if they are worried about being able to access care for symptoms of the novel coronavirus. The hotline is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

If you have symptoms including a cough or fever of 100.4 or higher, or you’ve had a known exposure to someone who has been diagnosed with coronavirus, please call your health care provider before visiting their office.

Do not go directly to your clinic without first calling to talk to your provider about next steps.

Umpqua Health encourages everyone to take basic precautions, like washing your hands washing and surface cleaning. Visit our COVID-19 Resources for more information.
