Macomb County Health Department issued the following announcement on April 27.
“We’re doing detective work,” said Bill Ridella, director of the Macomb County Health Department. “That’s what case investigation is all about – trying to determine where did the person get this disease.”
Beyond the individuals who tragically comprise the grim and growing total of Michigan residents who have succumbed to COVID-19 are the thousands more who have tested positive.
At the Macomb County Health Department and elsewhere across the state, an unprecedented number of public health workers are striving to identify – and notify – those individuals who may been exposed to the virus through contact with people who tested positive. They’re simply known as “the contacts.” For each infected person, his or her contacts may have been zero or few, to perhaps hundreds more.
