The Marquette County Health Department says that the Northern Michigan University golf course, and the NMU bookstore may be exposure sites for COVID-19.
In a Sunday press release, Health Department Environmental Health Officer Patrick Jacuzzo said that the locations were identified through contact tracing of positive test results in the community. If you visited the golf course on August 6th, 7th, or 8th; or the bookstore on the 12th, 13th, 14th, or 15th, you’re being told to monitor for symptoms and call your doctor if you do.
NMU classes were scheduled to start on Monday, but have been cancelled because only about half of the 7,300 tests have come back from the lab. Of those, NMU President Fritz Erickson said on Saturday that 0.5& were positive. The university decided, however, to not have classes on Monday, and to do remote on-line instruction for the rest of the week, until all of those test results come back. This was announced on Saturday, before the health department issued its press release on possible campus exposure sites.
