CHARLOTTE, Mich. — The Barry-Eaton District Health Department said in a Thursday news release people were exposed to COVID-19 at a garage sale.

The garage sale was held Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Carmel Township. The department said anyone who attended are considered exposed to the virus.

“These individuals should continue to wear masks when indoors in public, wash their hands frequently, and stay home as much as possible for 14 days after exposure,” the release said.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include coughing, a fever, difficulty breathing, fatigue and loss of smell or appetite. The department said anyone with those symptoms, if they’re new or worsening, should talk to their health care provider and get tested for the virus.
