Prioritization of cases

Due to the rising number of COVID cases in Baraga, Gogebic, Houghton, Keweenaw and Ontonagon Counties, you may receive a delay in receiving a response to your call. For general questions related to COVID, please call the MDHHS Hotline: 888-535-6136 or email COVID19@michigan.gov.

Effective immediately, the WUPHD has made the decision to concentrate our efforts on controlling potential outbreaks by prioritizing case investigations and contact tracing related to schools, the elderly, and nursing homes.

The public can take steps to prevent further outbreaks by masking in indoor spaces and distancing from others. In addition, if you have not received your COVID vaccine, please do so. The COVID vaccines are safe, effective and work to prevent serious illness. You can find a vaccination location at https://www.vaccines.gov/search/.

Please visit https://www.wupdhd.org/ for our COVID-19 information page to find information on the spread of COVID-19 throughout the district. For resources on how to stay safe during the pandemic, visit https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus and https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus.
