Overview
- Preliminary results from the State of Michigan found multiple water samples from Building 38E positive for Legionella.
- The Sheriff's Administration Building closed Friday and will remain shut through the weekend as the Health Division and Facilities Department implement mitigation.
- Personnel assigned to 38E were instructed to work remotely until officials determine the building is safe to reopen.
- Water testing was initiated after a custodial employee who works in the facility was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease.
- Recent visitors and staff with flu-like or pneumonia-like symptoms are urged to seek medical care and tell providers about possible exposure, and county officials note the local health department is not equipped to perform testing at this time.
