Current information was discussed. The Marshall County Health Department will be in charge of communicating timely and accurate information about this virus. By having only one source of information it will hopefully slow all the misinformation that is being circulated. The MC Health Department is working closely with the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center to help identify and contain the virus.
More information will be disseminated from the MC Health Department. The number 1 thing everyone needs to do is WASH YOUR HANDS!
If you have questions or feel you may be experiencing symptoms, please call your health care provider or the Marshall County Health Department (574) 935-8565.
