1.) Some have reached out over concerns that there is a patient at the UM hospital in Ann Arbor being treated for COVID-19 and are wondering if this means there is a case in Washtenaw County now. The Washtenaw County Health Department has informed us that the patient being treated is one of the two confirmed cases from Wayne or Oakland County, and that the patient is NOT a resident of Washtenaw County. At this time, Washtenaw County is still not considered a community with COVID-19.
2.) We know there are meetings and events in our community being cancelled, as well as shifts in how local colleges and universities are managing their responses to COVID-19. We have been assured by Washtenaw County Health Department officials that closing our schools is unwarranted at this time and could create unintended consequences that would hurt their efforts to protect our community. We will remain in close contact with public health officials throughout the duration of this threat and comply with all of their guidance. We will notify you immediately if this guidance changes.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out directly to me via email or through our Let’s Talk “Coronavirus (COVID-19)” topic area.
