The Marquette County Health Department says that cases of this latest COVID-19 subvariant have been rising across Michigan, and locally, they have detected an “elevated level” of the virus in the City of Marquette wastewater system.

The health department suggests people stay current on their COVID vaccinations, as well as to take other basic pfrecautions.
