In a post on its Facebook page, the health department said clients admitted not practicing social distancing or prevention measures during those visits.
In the statement, officials urged anyone who has been in those locations during the listed time periods or shortly thereafter to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days after possible exposure. Anyone who controls himself should also stay as far away from family and close contacts as possible, according to the statement.
“This is a sobering reminder that the virus continues to circulate in Michigan and northern Michigan,” health officer Wendy Hirschenberger said in the statement. “We need to remain vigilant and practice social distancing, wear a mask, and be aware that this is far from over.”
