(Jackson, MI) – The number of COVID-19 cases continues to trend down in Michigan and in Jackson County. Please refer to the MI Safe Start Map for additional statewide data. Notably, the 20-29 year old population exhibits a disparate number of the COVID positive population, meaning that they have a higher than average percent of cases overall in all populations during the timeframe of March 1, 2020 – May 4, 2021. Concerns associated with potential long-term effects of COVID, also known as “long COVID,” remain in some residents. These effects include: fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, depression, and headache. Effects can be disabling and can last for months, and in some cases, arise without warning in patients who had few or no symptoms at the time they were diagnosed with COVID-19.
