No cases doesn’t mean they don’t have covid-19 there. Remember , there’s a huge shortage of test kits so many are not yet tested. No test , no case.

What’s going to happen as the test kits become more widely available is you’re going to see a sudden exposes of cases reported.

Don't worry. It will be there soon enough. You won't be able to stop this virus (unfortunately).

From all indications, it seems to be airborne (meaning that you can catch it by being in a room with someone that has it, and not necessarily within a few feet of them).

First cases of coronavirus confirmed in Michigan; Whitmer declares state of emergency

<< America’s covid-19 map - no cases still in Michigan, HQ of KBLB. >>

(WXYZ) — The first cases of coronavirus and COVID-19 have been confirmed in Michigan and Gov. Whitmer has declared a state of emergency.

Whitmer announced late Tuesday that she made the declaration to assist local governments to slow the spread of the virus.

The state has a website set up specifically for COVID-19 and is at Michigan.gov/coronavirus.

According to the state Chief Medical Executive and Chief Deputy for Health Dr. Joneigh S. Khaldun, the cases are in Oakland and Wayne counties. The Oakland County resident is an adult female and had a recent history of international travel. The Wayne County resident is an adult male had a history of domestic travel. Both patients are middle-aged, according to Whitmer.

"This patient in Wayne County is currently under isolation. Our Public Health Division is working to identify individuals who may have come into close contact with the patient so we can take appropriate steps and monitor them closely,” said Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans. “We are continuing to collaborate with the state health department and recommend residents continue to practice prevention measures to slow the spread of COVID-19.”

“Oakland County and our Health Division will investigate the circumstances around this case so we understand if there are any potential close contacts," said Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter. "We must all as individuals and communities continue our prevention and preparedness strategies as we hope for a full recovery for this member of the community.”
