MARQUETTE, MI-- The first day of classes at Northern Michigan University is Tuesday, but they will all be online-only.
The Marquette County Health Department suggested the move from face-to-face instruction when officials found hundreds of COVID-19 test results hadn’t come back from the lab.
The final day for student and staff testing was Monday.
As of Monday at 5 p.m. a total of 24 people within the NMU community had tested positive for COVID. That includes three employees, eight off-campus students and 13 on-campus students.
The Upper Peninsula saw 17 new coronavirus cases Monday. Menominee County reported six; Delta and Ontonagon counties three each; Chippewa County had two; and Gogebic, Houghton and Iron counties had one each.
