Monkeypox Information

DCHS Response

Deschutes County Health Services (DCHS) is in active communication with Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to obtain the most up-to-date information and updates on monkeypox so we can be adequately prepared in the event of any cases(s).

DCHS is working with community partners to share information about monkeypox, the outbreak and infection prevention strategies for people who might be at increased risk of infection.

A team has been set up to coordinate our response in the event we have any cases.

Our well-trained case investigation team is prepared in the event of any potential cases.

Our hotline team is equipped with resources to answer questions you may have about monkeypox. That number is 541-699-5109.

There are currently no confirmed/suspected case(s) of monkeypox in Deschutes County/Central Oregon.
