The MI Symptoms Web Application was created by the University of Michigan School of Public Health and College of Engineering in collaboration with the Michigan departments of Health and Human Services and Labor and Economic Opportunity.
“MI Symptoms will help Michiganders identify symptoms of the virus early, allowing them to take the appropriate actions for their health and the health of those around them,†said Dr.

“MI Symptoms is a free tool that employers can use to help track workplace health and keep our economy operating.
