🖐️👣👄 HFMD is a common infection that often affects young children. The virus is most active during the summer and fall, so now’s a good time to be on the lookout. To help prevent spread, encourage good handwashing and keep kids home if they’re sick. 💧🧼

📢A bird die-off has been reported at the Muskegon County Resource Recovery Center. While the cause is not yet confirmed, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is suspected.

⚠️ Out of an abundance of caution, a public health advisory has been issued for the recreation areas. The risk to people is low, but visitors should avoid contact with sick or dead birds and be cautious in the area.
