Send Salem Reporter your Covid questions. We’ll work to get answers from local experts

Salem students are preparing to head back to school online in just a few weeks.

Gov. Kate Brown said last week she’ll consider closing bars and restaurants if Oregon’s Covid numbers don’t improve more quickly.

Marion County health officials are trying to test more people for the virus to get a better picture of local spread.

As the pandemic has continued, we’ve worked to answer your questions about the virus and its impacts, and we’ll continue to do so.

We put out a call for questions in July and included local doctors and public health experts in our roundup.

We also published copies of the scripts county and state case investigators use when talking to someone diagnosed with Covid after receiving dozens of questions about what’s asked and why.

Salem Reporter has access to experts at the local, state and national level. We spend hours each week looking at state dashboards and reports to understand where Oregon stands.

We want to put that to work for you.

What question do you have about this pandemic? About infection risks? About state data?

What information have you heard that you want verified? Do you wonder if something is true?

We’ll do our best to produce stories or FAQs to answer as many as we can.

We’ll rely on experts with credibility. We’ll cite our sources and link to documents. This topic is too essential to the community to be left with online rumors.
