Late Thursday night, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced the total number of positive cases in Michigan has reached 12. Two of those 10 new cases were in Oakland County, both in adult men. One has no known travel history and the other has a history of domestic travel.
During a press conference on Friday, the Oakland County Health Division says it will only be having essential personnel in the building, effective Monday, March 16. The county is urging anyone who needs to do business with the county to do so online wherever possible and is urging people not to go in person to handle work.
The county also said it is looking at waiving fees and delaying tax payments, where possible, but nothing has been set up as of 11 a.m. Friday.
Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner said the county would halt foreclosures.
"My pledge today is that no one in Oakland County will lose their property to tax foreclosure because of circumstances stemming from the Coronavirus public health emergency," said Meisner. "I want everyone in Oakland County to focus their attention on staying healthy and preventing the spread of the virus, not on whether or not they could lose their property. The Treasurer's Office has your back."
Oakland County is urging people to heed the state's advice of avoiding large groups of people. The county said it would be ready to enforce this, if necessary, but advised they don't plan to "fill their jails with people wanting to visit grandma".
