LANSING – The Ingham County Health Department says schools should suspend in-person classes after spring break as a precaution to prevent the continued spread of COVID-19.
Ingham County Health Officer Linda Vail issued a recommendation that schools move to remote learning for grades 6-12 for one week.
She made the request because the county’s test positivity rate is 15.2%, nine people died of the virus last week and roughly 150 people are hospitalized. The county had not seen nine deaths in a week since January.
“Looking at our percent positivity, case numbers and hospitalizations, I am deeply concerned,” Vail said in a statement. “That said, looking at our vaccination rates I am really hopeful. We are at a turning point in the pandemic.”
