CHESHIRE TOWNSHIP, Mich. â The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department Health and Human Services (MDHHS) warned the Allegan County Health Department (ACHD) of a suspected blue-green algae or a cyanobacterial bloom in Swan Lake.
Those who visit the lake in Cheshire Township are urged to avoid water related activities and keep pets from drinking from the lake where the bloom is visible until sampling for cyanotoxin testing is complete or the bloom disappears.
According to the ACHD it is impossible to determine if algae contains harmful toxins by look and in turn encourages avoiding contact with any body of water covered with algal mats.

Nearly a thousand health care workers in Ingham County are getting Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine every week.
Health Officer Linda Vail says so far, the state has provided her department with 975 doses of vaccine a week. They’re getting an extra dose out of some vials.
She says the staff and the schedule would allow for more. “We did ask for the double, 1,950 doses this week, and didn’t get it, Vail adds, but we will be asking again, and I’ve also made a few phone calls.”
Vail says the department is vaccinating 350 or more people per day, and could double or triple that if they had enough vaccine.

Among other things, the Governor, health care experts, and advisors said that the number and percentage of positive cases are declining. In her press conference, the Governor expressed optimism that restrictions would continue to be relaxed further as long as the data continues to trend in the right direction.

The first Pfizer vaccines in Michigan were administered Monday to frontline health care workers. Moderna vaccines could also be on the market as early as next week, pending emergency Federal Drug Administration (FDA) authorization.
“This month and next month are going to be tough with COVID cases, but literally every single month of 2021 is likely to be better than the preceding month,” Whitmer said during the press conference. “February will be better than January. March will be better than February. April will be better than March.
