The Westerm Upper Peninsula Health Department received notification Sunday of the first COVID-19 positive case in Houghton County.
The Health Department continues to investigate the case to determine exposure risk to recent contacts.
“At this time, I advise the public to be diligent, yet level-headed in prevention efforts,” said Cathryn A. Beer, Health Officer at WUPHD. “I urge you to get your information and situation updates from reputable sources such as the health department or your physician.”
WUPHD will not be naming public low-risk exposure locations.
Residents should behave as though the virus may be present when they are in public places in the community, including businesses and buildings that are open under the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-21.
