Two potential cases of coronavirus have been identified in Washtenaw County.
The county health department is calling them both “presumptive positive” until they can be tested and confirmed.
The two individuals have been isolated, and Washtenaw Health officials are currently working to identify others who may have been exposed to the disease.
As an additional precaution, the Washtenaw County Health Department is also asking anyone who was at the following locations, at these specific times to watch themselves for symptoms of COVID-19:
