LUCE COUNTY, Mich. (WLUC) - The Luce, Mackinac, Alger, Schoolcraft (LMAS) District Health Department announced Luce County’s first positive case for COVID -19.
This is the first confirmed case in the four county district.
On Wednesday, The LMAS District Health Department says it became aware of a positive COVID-19 case identified through Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Laboratory Testing.
The identified case is an adult man. The LMAS District Health Department says it believes the risk to the general public is low at this time. This is all the information that will be released at this time about the man, the department says.
The Michigan Department of Corrections says a male prisoner at Newberry Correctional Facility has tested positive for COVID-19. Those results were received Tuesday. It is unclear at this time if the case reported by the LMAS District Health Department is the same case reported at Newberry Correctional Facility.
The LMAS District Health Department says it is following current CDC guidance regarding case investigation and will follow-up with anyone who has been identified as a close contact. They will be assessed for symptoms and monitored appropriately.
The state reported 507 new positive COVID-19 cases Wednesday, which includes the Luce County case and the Marquette County case reported Tuesday, along with 19 new deaths. This puts the state total at 2,295 cases with 43 deaths. Click here to see the latest information from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The LMAS District Health Department urges the community to continue to be cooperative with recommendations to keep yourself and others safe. This includes following the executive order instituted earlier this week from Governor Whitmer to “Stay Home, Stay Safe” and implement social distancing. Reducing person-to-person contact is the best way to slow and reduce the spread of this novel (new) virus which the population has no immunity to.
People who are mildly ill with COVID-19 are able to safely recover at home. Seek medical care if your symptoms worsen by calling ahead to your provider. COVID-19 symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, people should wash their hands properly, avoid close contact with sick people, and disinfect commonly touched surfaces.
