Two people visiting Grand Traverse County from out-of-state tested positive for COVID-19 over the holiday weekend, according to a Monday report from the Grand Traverse County COVID-19 Joint Operations Center. The Grand Traverse County Health Department conducted a case investigation and contact tracing. As a result, six individuals in the county are now self-quarantining and will be monitored for the next 14 days. Because the two visitors are not residents of Grand Traverse County, they will not be included in the county’s number of positive cases. As of Monday afternoon, Grand Traverse County was reporting 23 positive cases, six probable cases, 14 recoveries and five deaths. On Monday, the Traverse City Ticker reported that the two out-of-state travelers came to Grand Traverse County to visit family. They were both symptomatic, and one has since been hospitalized, while the other is in quarantine in a contactless hotel room. Six family members who were exposed are in self-quarantine and being monitored by the health department, the Ticker reported. Health officer Wendy Hirschenberger told the Ticker there does not appear to be any community exposure since the travelers came to the area to specifically stay with family. Hirschenberger warned that the popular tourist destination would continue to see these types of incidents throughout the summer.
