LUDINGTON, MI – The first case of coronavirus has been reported in Mason County, a month after the state of Michigan recorded its first case.
And Oceana County has reported its first death.
The single case in Mason County was included in a daily update on Tuesday, April 7, by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Additional information about the patient was not available.
That leaves Lake County as the only West Michigan county – and one of just 12 in the state -- not reporting any cases of COVID-19.

PREVENTION TIPS
Michigan’s State Emergency Operations Center is coordinating state-government resources and the response to the coronavirus spread. It has shared the following tips:
What you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases:
· Always cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue or sleeve.
· Stay home if you are sick and advise others to do the same.
· Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
· Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
· Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if soap and warm water are not available.
· Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces (computers, keyboards, desks, etc.).
· It’s not too late to get your flu shot! While the influenza vaccine does not protect against COVID-19 infection, it can help keep you healthy during the flu season.
