MUSKEGON, Mich. — Muskegon County now has its first presumptive case of COVID-19.

Officials plan a news conference around 9 a.m. to discuss the development.

A presumptive case is one where a test has been found positive by local officials but has been sent on to the CDC for further confirmation.

County officials urged residents to follow executive orders from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and take “common sense precautions” that are widely reported.
