The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported 698 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, and one new death. The state also went back through older death certificates and matched them to previous positive test results. They added two more deaths to the state’s total.
Michigan now has 86,889 positive test results since the crisis began more than four months ago, and 6,250 total deaths.
The MDHHS on Saturday provided an update on the number of people who have recovered after testing positive or being diagnosed with COVID-19. State officials now say that 63,636 people have recovered, which means they are still alive at least 30 days after diagnosis or onset. That’s an additional 3.614 recoveries in the past week.
A county-by-county report was not provided on Friday, so Saturday’s numbers reflect added cases since the Thursday update from the MDHHS.
The Upper Peninsula added 42 new cases over the past two days and has seen a total of 644 confirmed cases since early March.
The daily update on cases reflects positive test results and does not specify the severity of the person’s illness, or whether he/she has any smptoms at all.
No new deaths were reported in the Upper Peninsula on Saturday. The last death reported in the U.P. was on June 26 in Iron County. Before that, the most recent death was on May 24, in Marquette County.
