Undated - The Michigan Department of Community Health is continuing its planning and preparedness efforts against the potential threat of ebola in Michigan. MDCH has issued Michigan’s monitoring guidance to healthcare partners statewide, and will continue to monitor residents in accordance with recently updated centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) guidelines.
Currently, Michigan is monitoring nine individuals and will be posting updates weekly at michigan.gov/ebola. Michigan had previously reported that 10 individuals were being monitored, however after further follow-up by MDCH and the local health department, it was determined that one individual did not complete their travel to Michigan.
MDCH is working with health care facilities across the state to conduct drills, provide training, and assess their readiness to respond to patients with potential ebola virus infection, especially as guidance from the CDC is updated.
