DETROIT – The Wayne County Public Health Division has issued an advisory, strongly recommending that all public, non-public and boarding schools in the county’s jurisdiction should shift to remote learning through Jan.

“This advisory is the strongest recommendation we can issue at this time to help prevent further spread of COVID-19.
