DHD4 implements new software for COVID case investigation

ALPENA, Mich. — As COVID–19 cases continue to increase in the area,  District Health Department No. 4 introduces new software to help with COVID–19 investigations.

The Patient Education Genius system issues a text message and/or email to people testing positive for COVID–19.  A link is then sent for you to fill out a survey.

According to Community Health Director Devin Spivey, unless you fall into a high–risk category based on age or type of employment, you will receive a text or email with the link.

DHD4 asks all residents receiving the message to fill out the online survey.
