Officials say Fourth of July partygoers at the Torch Lake Sandbar in northern Michigan should be monitoring for symptoms of the coronavirus after several attendees tested posted, the state’s health department said.
In a statement released by the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, “If you were at the Torch Lake Sandbar party over 4th of July weekend, you should monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19,”
Health department officials said the celebration, where boaters docked on the lake's sandbar and got off their boats to party, drew big crowds.
The cases were made known after a local health department said another health agency in the state alerted it to “several individuals" who tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the sandbar party.
