UPDATES FROM HOUGHTON/KEWEENAW COUNTIES

• As normal supply chains have caught up with demand, the ability for the County to request PPE from the State has decreased considerably. At this time, agencies that were eligible for PPE from the County must provide a list of the suppliers that the agency has contacted (and been denied) before the PPE can be requested by the County from the State.
   
• Houghton County passes COVID-19 resolution, https://www.mininggazette.com/news/2020/07/houghton-county-passes-covid-19-resolution/
