Local health officials Friday added two new COVID-19 cases in Iron County, while the Iron County Medical Care Facility reported a second employee has been confirmed with the virus.

The employee was tested during the facility’s weekly clinic Wednesday, said Jessica Schultz, diversional therapy director at ICMCF.

“ICMCF will be reviewing this case and working with the local health department to determine if any further action is necessary,” Schultz said. ” We will continue to test employees and residents on a weekly basis.”

ICMCF will provide updates to its employees, residents, and residents’ representatives and families through posts on its webpage — www.ironcountymcf.com — in the emergency notification area as new information becomes available, Schultz said.

The facility disclosed its first ICMCF employee to test positive Aug. 7. Staff have been tested weekly since early July.

The Dickinson-Iron District Health Department did not provide any further information on the two new Iron County positives.

Little new information otherwise was available Friday on additional COVID-19 cases in the Upper Peninsula, as the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services did not update numbers on its COVID-19 data site due to technical difficulties with reporting electronic lab results.

On the Wisconsin side of the region, that state’s COVID-19 data site showed 12 new cases in Marinette County, two in Iron County and one each in Forest and Florence counties that local health officials already had reported earlier in the week. Vilas County’s total was reduced by one, though the state number still exceeds by four the 84 cases the county’s health department posted on its Facebook page.

Also on Facebook, Forest County confirmed a 64th case Friday, an individual who was isolating at home.

For Wisconsin counties in the region, the state Department of Health Services’ COVID-19 data site Friday had Marinette County with 542 cases and five deaths; Iron County 100 cases and one death; Vilas County 88 cases; Forest County 63 cases and four deaths; and Florence County 18 cases. The state numbers are updated daily but can lag behind local reports or have other discrepancies.

Wisconsin recorded 826 new positives in the state Friday for a total of 69,059 to date, according to the state DHS data site. The state had only one new COVID-19 deaths Friday for a total of 1,068.

According to the Dickinson-Iron District Health Department, Dickinson County as of Friday has had 61 confirmed COVID-19 positives, with 39 recovered, two deaths and 20 cases still active. Iron County has had 25 positives, with 10 recovered, one death and 14 still active.
