COVID Surges in the Thumb
When it comes to COVID-19 cases, it's not great anywhere in Michigan right now. But the Thumb region is in serious trouble, ranking among the hottest spots in the state for COVID infection rates. Today we talk with Michigan Radio's Caroline Llanes about surges in the area. And we also speak to a nearby restaurant owner in St. Claire who made the decision to close dine-in service amid the surge.
GUESTS:
Caroline Llanes, newsroom intern at Michigan Radio
Sadaat Hossain, owner of the Raven Café
