Michigan health officials are calling for attendees of two Fourth of July parties to monitor themselves for symptoms after partygoers tested positive for COVID-19.
Several attendees of a Fourth of July party at Torch Lake Sandbar in northern Michigan tested positive for COVID-19, while more than 40 cases in Saline, Michigan, are linked to a holiday house party.
The state health department is asking anyone who attended the party at Torch Lake to monitor themselves and seek testing if symptoms develop and self-quarantine.
Because those who tested positive could not identify all potential contacts for exposure, the health department went public to alert those who attended the event.
Anyone who attended a Fourth of July party at Torch Lake Sandbar over the holiday weekend is being asked to monitor themselves for symptoms after several attendees tested positive.
