HOUGHTON With local COVID-19 numbers well below the state average, local superintendents said at this point they are not going along with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s request this morning for voluntary two-week pauses on youth sports and in-person instruction in high schools.
Whitmer also asked residents to avoid indoor dining for two weeks during her press conference Friday, which comes as the state has emerged as cases statewide have skyrocketed, aided by the emergence of more contagious variants.
“That’s the nature of this virus,” she said. “The second we let our guard down, it comes roaring back. Luckily we can put it all behind us once and for all if we get vaccinated. But we can’t get complacent in the meantime.”
