DIDHD: Six more virus positives in Dickinson, two in Iron

Marinette County has 13 new cases

Local health officials Thursday posted six new confirmed COVID-19 positives in Dickinson County and two in Iron County in the past week.

In addition to the new confirmed positives, the Dickinson-Iron District Health Department in its Facebook post Thursday morning listed 17 new probable cases in Dickinson County. The DIDHD was unable to update its number of people now considered recovered from the virus due to a system issue.

The DIDHD had Dickinson County at 2,454 confirmed positives and 366 probable cases, with 2,696 recovered, 72 deaths and 52 cases still active. For Iron County, the agency had 1,011 confirmed cases and 75 probables, with 1,010 recovered, 50 deaths and 26 active cases.

The DIDHD in June cut back to only one COVID-19 update a week when the pace of local coronavirus activity slowed.

No new Michigan statewide data was available Thursday, as the Department of Health and Human Services’ coronavirus website is updated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

For the five Wisconsin counties in the region, the state Department of Health Services’ COVID-19 data site Thursday had 13 new confirmed positives in Marinette County, three in Vilas County, two in Forest County.
