CHARLOTTE, MI – A person with new coronavirus symptoms worked at a three-day garage sale in Eaton County, possibly exposing those who attended COVID-19, health officials said.

People who attended the garage sale are considered exposed to COVID-19 and need to be monitored for symptoms, including cough, fever, shortness of breath, loss of smell or taste, and fatigue, health authorities said.
Those at the garage sale should stay home as long as possible for 14 days after the exposure and, if they go out in public, wear a mask and wash their hands frequently, authorities said.
