The State of Michigan is changing the way COVID-19 positive test results are released. State officials say they will now provide a daily briefing at 2pm each day to announce new cases in the state and to break down their location by county and age group. As of Monday, there are 54 positive cases in Michigan, two in St. Clair County.
St. Clair County Medical Health Officer Dr. Annette Mercatante says the second patient is the spouse of the the first patient who tested positive for the virus last week. That pushes the current statewide count to 53 presumptive positive cases. Mercatante also says the St. Clair County Emergency Operations center has been activated. She adds that the county will have live operators available on the COVID-19 hotline by calling (810) 966-4163.
