MARQUETTE The Marquette County Health Department announced the return to a 10-day quarantine COVID-19 period, down from 14 days, effective immediately.
Adhering to quarantine requirements is needed when protecting the public’s health, the health department said in a news release. However, it acknowledged a 14-day quarantine can impose personal burdens that might affect people physically and mentally as well as cause economic hardship that might reduce compliance.
“Implementing quarantines can also pose additional burdens on public health systems and communities, especially during periods when new infections, and consequently the number of contacts needing to quarantine, are rapidly rising,” the MCHD said.
