Latest Clinton County COVID-19 stats<\/strong>
\nUpdated daily except Sunday<\/em><\/p>\n

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued an Emergency Order under the Public Health Code to update COVID safety requirements for Michiganders.<\/p>\n

You might feel healthy, but the reality is this: about 40% of people who have COVID-19 may be asymptomatic. That means almost one out of every two people could be infected. They might not know it until it\u2019s too late. So Mask Up Michigan!<\/p>\n

2353 cases and 22 deaths, Probable Cases: 181<\/em> [as of November 25]<\/strong><\/p>\n
