COVID-19 Questions (updated 11/01/2020)
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. [English. Chinese. Spanish.] Older adults and people with chronic medical conditions have an increased risk for serious illness from COVID-19.

Like most diseases or conditions of public health significance, COVID-19 disease is reported by county of official residence. For example, if a person is diagnosed with a disease in a hospital within Kalamazoo County, but resides in another county, the count or report of disease goes to their county and county health department of official residence, not Kalamazoo. Or if a resident of Kalamazoo County travels or attends school in another county, state, or even nation, and becomes sick, the disease report would be in Kalamazoo County. This is standard practice for disease and death reporting across the United States. Local health departments routinely investigate diseases of public health significance for individuals within their jurisdiction and coordinate with other local health departments and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The Kalamazoo County Health Officer issued a recommendation on April 2, 2020 for all essential service providers and businesses in Kalamazoo County to conduct a brief health screening of workers and implement a social distancing plan to protect everyone’s health to the greatest degree possible.
Only those operations deemed critical under the Governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order may remain open in Kalamazoo County.

The current MDHHS Epidemic Order requires wearing a face masks in gatherings of two or more people, including stores, offices, schools, and events. Businesses cannot admit people without masks, with few exceptions. HCS is encouraging people to make their own cloth face coverings and save the N95 and surgical masks for our healthcare workers and first responders.
