The case would still need to be confirmed by the CDC, but the presumptive positive means the state test did confirm COVID-19 in a patient.

On Tuesday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced the first two presumptive positive cases in the state, one in Oakland County and the other in Wayne County. She declared a state of emergency as well.

The Oakland County resident is an adult female and had a recent history of international travel. The Wayne County resident is an adult male had a history of domestic travel. Both patients are middle-aged, according to Whitmer.

Right there, testing has been approved on 135 people, and 97 of them have tested negative for coronavirus. Test results are pending on 26 more and 172 are being monitored.

What we don't know is where the patients specifically are from, who they have come into contact with, or when they were traveling.

Whitmer is reminding Michiganders that they should take presumptive measures to prevent the spread including:

• Washing your hands with soap and water.
• Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
• Avoiding contact with people who are sick.
• Staying home if you are sick and contact your healthcare provider.

COVID-19 Symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure to the virus. They include:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of Breath
