There is strong evidence of community spread locally. Residents can assume there is a possibility the virus may be present when they are in public places in the community. Everyone should be using all recommended prevention measures when out in public or gathering with others not living in the same house (face coverings, distance, hand cleaning).
Travel Restrictions
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) no longer requires quarantine for those returning from international travel, but it is strongly recommended. See the CDC travel pages for more. Also, see Washtenaw County Health Department's Returning from Travel: COVID Recommendations.
Case Updates
We’re relying on our community to work together to slow the potential spread of illness and refer to official sources of reliable information.

REMEMBER: Discrimination harms public health. We know viruses do not discriminate based on location, race, ethnicity, or national origin. However, viruses like COVID-19 can highlight health disparities that are deeply rooted in our society. Let’s fight this public health concern with compassion and science, not fear and discrimination.
