“This is a sobering reminder that the virus is still circulating in Michigan and northern Michigan. We need to remain vigilant and practice social distancing, wear a mask, and be aware that this is far from over, ”said Health Officer Wendy Hirschenberger. “Just because we’ve reopened doesn’t mean we can relax our protective actions. Anyone could have COVID-19 and can now know it because some people with coronaviruses are not yet sick and some people never have signs of the disease. I strongly urge everyone to take precautions so that we can reduce infections and keep businesses open. “

If you were in these locations during or shortly thereafter, you should self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms for the next 14 days. If you develop symptoms, call your healthcare professional.
