As of today, March 27, 2020 at 2:35p.m., Public Health Delta and Menominee Counties has issued the following
information:
• To date in Delta County, Public Health is reporting 34 specimens have been submitted to the laboratories for testing, 18 were negative for COVID-19, and 16 are pending.
• Several commercial and private labs are able to test COVID-19 specimens now, so there may be more Delta County residents with pending tests than are aware of at this point.
• Public Health encourages providers to submit information to Public Health, even when they are using a private lab.
Please note that these numbers can change at any time as test results are being processed continually. These numbers only reflect accurate information as to the date and time of this briefing.
We continue to encourage all Delta County residents and businesses to abide by Governor Whitmer’s EO 2020-20: Temporary Restrictions on the use of Places of Public Accommodation and 2020-21: Temporary Requirement to Suspend Activities that are not Necessary to Sustain or Protect Life.
In EO 2020-21 the Governor directs that in order, “To suppress the spread of COVID-19, to prevent the state’s health care system from being overwhelmed, to allow time for the production of critical test kits, ventilators, and personal protective equipment, and to avoid needless deaths, it is reasonable and necessary to direct residents to remain at home or in their place of residence to the maximum extent feasible.”
For more information on these Executive Orders or any other questions or information regarding COVID-19, please visit www.Michigan.gov/coronavirus or www.deltacountymi.org for resource.
