The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported Thursday afternoon that the state’s number of coronavirus cases increased by 406 new cases, and there were 21 new deaths since Wednesday.
The state also went back through death certificates and matched previous positive test results with people who have died. They added 17 more deaths to the state’s total using that method. Those people could have died days or weeks ago, state officials say.
Michigan now has 56,014 confirmed positive cases and 5,372 COVID-19 deaths.
The numbers continue to show positive trends, even as more testing is being done around Michigan.
“The northern lower peninsula, and the entire Upper Peninsula, continue to see low rates of cases, and the rates of cases remains relatively unchanged,” said the state’s chief medical executive, Dr. Joneigh Kahldun, at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
She said that virtually anybody can get a test under newly-expanded testing criteria by calling (888) 35-6136.
There have been 112 confirmed positive cases and 15 deaths linked to COVID-19 in the Upper Peninsula since the crisis began two months ago.
Houghton County added one case and Mackinac County added two cases on Thursday. Four U.P. counties have had no reported cases: Alger, Iron, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon.
Munising Memorial Hospital says a person from Lower Michigan visiting a second home in Alger County has tested positive for the coronavirus. Contact with other people was minimal and the person has since traveled back downstate. The positive test does not count toward Alger County’s total, which is still zero.
This information is updated daily at 3 p.m., with COVID-19 results included as of 10 a.m.

Note on cumulative counts: This report is provisional and subject to change. As public health investigations of individual cases continue, there will be corrections to the status and details of referred cases that result in changes to this report.City of Detroit and Wayne County are reported separately
Note on the deaths: Deaths must be reported by health care providers, medical examiners/coroners, and recorded by local health departments in order to be counted.
*Note on deaths (05/28/20): Regular reviews of death certificate data maintained in Vital Records reporting systems are conducted by MDHHS staff three times per week. As a part of this process, records that identify COVID-19 infection as a contributing factor to death are compared against all laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS). If a death certificate is matched to a confirmed COVID-19 case and that record in the MDSS does not indicate the individual died, the MDSS record is updated to indicate the death and the appropriate local health department is notified. These matched deaths are then included with mortality information posted to the Michigan Coronavirus website. As a result of the most recent assessment, today’s data includes 17 additional deaths identified by this methodology.
Note on jurisdictional classification: In order to provide more accurate data, the “Other” jurisdiction category will no longer be used. Michigan Department of Corrections cases will be listed under “MDOC”. Federal Correctional Institution cases will be listed under “FCI”.
Note on Case Fatality Rate: The case fatality rate is the number of people who have died from causes associated with COVID-19 out of the total number of people with confirmed COVID-19 infections. It is used as one measure of illness severity. Several factors can affect this number. Until recently, COVID-19 lab testing has prioritized for hospitalized individuals due to limited testing availability. As a result, COVID-19 infections were identified more often in people who were more severely ill. This would lead to a higher case fatality rate. As more people with mild illness are tested, it is likely the case fatality rate will go down.

Cumulative Total of Recovered COVID-19 Cases (as of 5/22/2020): 33,168
Note on recovery: During this response, MDHHS is reviewing vital records statistics to identify any laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases who are 30 days out from their onset of illness to represent recovery status. As the pandemic continues to impact Michigan, this pool will expand to include more cases. Recovered is defined as the number of persons with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis who are alive 30 days post-onset (or referral date if onset is not available). The number of persons recovered on May 22, 2020 represents COVID-19 confirmed individuals with an onset date on or prior to April 22, 2020. If an individual dies from a COVID-related cause >30 days from onset/referral, they are removed from the number of persons recovered. These numbers will be updated every Saturday.
