COVID-19 INFORMATION
What's going on?
On March 10, 2020 the Governor declared a state of emergency in Michigan in response to the discovery of the first two presumptive positive cases of COVID-19.
What does that mean?
While a state of emergency sounds alarming, it is primarily a procedural step that allows state and local health officials to access additional resources for identifying, treating, and preventing the spread of the disease.
So, what should I do?
~You should be washing your hands for minimum 20 seconds with soap and warm water.
~You can reduce your chances of exposure by avoiding large gatherings of 100 people or more.
~If you are sick, stay home! Contact your healthcare provider.
~Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
~Cover your mouth and nose when coughing.
Where can I learn more?
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has a fact sheet with information and tips to stay safe.
