ALPENA District Health Department No. 4 officials said they will no longer report the number of people who have recovered from COVID-19 on the Health Department’s website after Presque Isle County commissioners questioned the accuracy of the data.
During the department’s board meeting today, Presque Isle County Commissioner Carl Altman inquired about the recovery numbers and asked who determines whether a person is considered recovered.
Health Officer Denise Bryan said state health officials pivoted away from tracking recovery data when they started reporting on vaccine doses administered.
