Page 10 - shelby shopper & info - 704/484-1047 www.shelbyinfo.com Thursday, September 9-September 15, 2021 Tree Stand Safety Reduces Incidents During the Hunt Archery season for white-tailed deer opens on Sept. 11 statewide. As deer hunters prepare for their fi rst outing, whether it's archery this weekend or black powder or gun season later this year, it's imperative to prioritize hunter safety. Hunting from an elevated stand is a popular tactic used by hunters, especially archers, however tree stands can easily turn dangerous if not used correctly. During the fall of 2020, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission received 10 reported tree stand incidents – one which was fatal. In all instances, the individuals were not wearing a safety harness, and unfortunately, this doesn't account for the tree stand incidents that were never reported. "Hunters should always use a fall- arrest system and follow the tree stand manufacturer's recommended safety procedures," said Carissa Daniels, the Wildlife Commission's outreach manager. "Those simple measures can go a long way in helping hunters stay safe while hunting with a tree stand." The Wildlife Commission's hunter safety education campaign, Home From the Hunt, and the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation offer these tree stand safety recommendations. Get N.C.

Preparing to use your tree stand: Remove all your equipment and inspect it for damage before using it. This includes belts, chains, bolts and attachment cords. Replace them if necessary. Purchase a full-body safety harness as part of a fall-arrest system. Ensure you do not exceed the stand manufacturer's maximum height or weight limits. Pack an emergency signal device, such as a cell phone or a whistle. Setting up your tree stand: Share your stand location with someone before each hunt. Select a healthy, straight tree for your tree stand. Ask someone to assist you with setting up the stand. Using your tree stand: Buckle your harness securely and connect to the tree tether before your feet leave the ground. Maintain three points of contact when climbing the ladder; two hands and a foot or two feet and a hand. Most falls occur when climbing up or down. Use a lineman's belt and/or lifeline when climbing or descending. Raise and lower equipment using a haul line – never carry anything as you climb.

The Executive Order authorizes and directs State Health Di- rector, Dr. Betsey Tilson, to issue a statewide standing order to expand access to monoclonal antibody treat- ment, which if taken early can decrease the risk of se- vere disease, hospitaliza- tion, and death. The Order will be in effect through No- vember 30, 2021. "Expanding access to monoclonal antibody ther- apy will help more patients across the state get this highly effective COVID-19 treatment," said Gover- nor Cooper. "In addition to getting more people vac- cinated, we need to do all we can to save the lives of people who become in- fected." The Governor has previ- ously directed, and affirmed the State Health Director's authority to direct, the issu- ance of statewide standing orders to facilitate COVID- 19 vaccination and testing efforts, most recently in Ex- ecutive Order No. 229. The North Carolina De- partment of Health and Human Services ("NCD- HHS") reports that while they have seen an increase in the number of provid- ers who are administering monoclonal antibody treat- ment, there is still limited capacity to administer this medication among the state's primary care provid- ers and providers not asso- ciated with a health system. A statewide standing order for monoclonal antibody treatment will make it eas- ier for people with COVID- 19 symptoms, particularly those with less access to a regular health care pro- vider, to get this poten- tially life-saving treatment. Under the order, treatment could be provided in a medical supervised com- munity setting, such as part of COVID-19 testing sites. "We want to do ev- erything possible to help people recover from COVID and keep them out of the hospital," said NCDHHS Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. "Get tested right away if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Treatment for COVID must be given within 10 days of symptoms starting and before someone becomes sick enough to need the hospital." While vaccines provide the best protection from COVID-19, treatment op- tions such as Monoclonal Antibodies are available if you have had symptoms of COVID-19 for 10 days or less or have been exposed to COVID-19. If taken early, they can reduce the risk of severe disease, hospital- ization, and death. Ask your doctor about Monoclonal Antibodies or call the Com- bat COVID Monoclonal Antibodies Call Center at 1-877-332-6585 (English) or 1-877-366-0310 (Span- ish). Monoclonal antibodies are proteins made in a lab- oratory to fight infections, in this case, the virus that causes COVID-19, and are given to patients directly with an IV infusion or a shot. Some early evidence suggests this treatment can reduce the amount of the virus, or viral load, that causes COVID-19 in a per- son's body. Having a lower viral load may reduce the severity of symptoms and decrease the likelihood of hospitalization. The Order received concurrence from the Council of State.
