Chief public health officer Denise Fair said the latest numbers of who is testing positive should get everyone’s attention. The majority of new cases are being found in people between the ages of 20 and 29.
Fair said she’s seeing many people not socially distancing while in Greektown and not wearing masks. Or, if they do have a mask on, they’re not wearing it right.
