Previously, the Ministry of Health and Human Services reported COVID-19 cases and death rates three times a week, usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The state also separated “confirmed” cases and deaths from those deemed “probable”, meaning that a doctor and / or antigen test found it to be COVID-19, but a confirmatory PCR test had not been completed. From this week, the state will provide these data updates only on Wednesdays. In addition, Michigan combines confirmed and potential cases / deaths together to make it easier to compare trends nationwide, according to an MDHHS spokesman. Wednesday’s update brought the state’s seven-day average to 697 confirmed cases and 13 confirmed deaths a day. This is from 627 cases and 17 deaths a day a week ago. In all, there have been more than 2.39 million confirmed and potential cases and 35,776 confirmed and probable deaths in Michigan since the pandemic began. Among these totals, 2,083,827 cases and 32,923 deaths are confirmed, while 309,438 cases and 2,853 deaths are possible.
