Ingham County Health Officer Linda Vail is giving an update on the county's #COVID19 outbreaks around MSU right now in a Zoom press conference. Here's cases per day compared to the positivity rate (blue line) since March. The spike in June is the outbreak at Hapers & other places
New cases of #COVID19 in Ingham County per week have dropped off, but Linda Vail said there will be increases in counts because of the onset date for the virus is different than when a person tests positive.
Ingham County health officer says her department counts about 1,200 cases tied to MSU students, faculty or staff. Doesn't include secondary cases tied to MSU folks.
She also said there are currently no COVID-positive individuals hospitalized in Ingham County right now.
"I kind of feel like I'm running out of tools in my toolbox, but you know what, I'll find more," Ingham County health officer Linda Vail said when asked about the expiration of the two-week quarantine at MSU frats, sororities and rental houses that she ordered last week.
Students in East Lansing apartment complexes have been told to quarantine, but not mandated to do so, Vail said.
Vail said some MSU students in East Lansing rental houses aren't getting tested to avoid being ordered to quarantine.
"This is not punitive, this is protection."
