In an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus the Fort Custer Guard Training Center near Battle Creek has been chosen as a backup facility to quarantine patients should the need arise.
The U.S. Department of Defense selected 11 military bases throughout the country that would hold up to 20 people for quarantine observation.
Major General Paul Rogers, Director of Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, said,
"To-date we have no anticipation of a need for that facility."
