LUCE COUNTY — The Luce-Mackinac-Alger-Schoolcraft Health Department announced the first confirmed positive case of COVID-19 in a Luce County resident. A positive case was previously reported in an inmate at Newberry Correctional Facility, but because of a change in reporting at the state level, inmate cases no longer are being included in county numbers, officials said.

The identified person is an adult with no history of recent domestic travel. The individual is recovering at home, according to the health department.
