ANN ARBOR – Washtenaw County was downgraded to a “low” community COVID-19 level on Friday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC no longer broadly recommends mask use in indoor public spaces in communities categorized as having a low risk of local transmission. However, the health agency advises that people make masking decisions based on personal preferences.

Other mitigation measures include getting vaccinated, seeking testing, staying away from others if you feel ill and making sure indoor spaces are well ventilated, if possible.
