WVBI COVID-19 Update for February 28, 2022

The State’s COVID-19 data released Friday continues to show downward trends across the board. There were an average of 1,560 new cases a day over the two days covered by the report and 26 new deaths a day. The seven-day running averages continue down to 1,293 new cases a day and 58 deaths a day, including deaths reclassified from prior dates. Charlevoix had six new cases and no new deaths. In our region there were 77 new cases and one death, which was in Grand Traverse. Hospital occupancy and utilization trends continue to look good with the COVID-19 numbers still elevated from last fall but headed down. No change in our local hospitals. to Nothing new on COVID-19 front from the Health Center. Their tally has no positive tests in the last two weeks and no tests pending. Next batch of data from the state comes this afternoon.

Nothing new from the health center. No new tests. None pending. No current cases tested positive at the health center or school on the island.

New C-D-C masking guidelines mean that masks are no longer recommended by them for most places in Northwest Michigan—including the island and the rest of Charlevoix County. Schools are off the masking list along with other public places. But, masks are still suggested indoors and at schools down in T-C and on planes and other public transportation—although the order requiring public transportation masking is set to expire on March 18.
