He was not a resident of Kalamazoo County, according to Jim Rutherford, health officer, Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services Department.
Rutherford didn’t say where Offiong did reside.
“However, this virus has no borders when it comes to who it affects and how it is spread,” Rutherford said.
“We urge everyone to help us fight community spread by following the governor’s executive order. Stay home and if you must go out for essential items, stay safe by taking preventative measures.”
