The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported Thursday afternoon that the state’s total number of confirmed coronavirus cases has jumped to 29,263, which is 1,204 more cases in the past 24 hours.
There have now been 2,093 deaths reported in Michigan due to the virus.
That’s 107 more deaths in the past 24 hours statewide.
State officials also added an additional 65 deaths to the statewide total that are believed to be related to COVID-19, but had not been reported as such when they passed away. Officials went through death certificates around Michigan and matched them to COVID-19 positive cases that were noted Michigan Disease Surveillance System.
The overwhelming majority of the cases and deaths are in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties, surrounding the City of Detroit.
There are 55 reported COVID-19 cases in the Upper Peninsula: 27 in Marquette County, ten in Delta County, four in Mackinac County, four in Gogebic County, three in Dickinson County, three in Schoolcraft County, two in Houghton County, and one each in Baraga, Menominee and Luce Counties.
The Western U.P. Health Department says that a case reported in Baraga County was an error on the state’s part, and it will be corrected in Friday’s state report. The health department says there are no reported cases in Baraga County.
There are nine deaths reported in the Upper Peninsula. Five in Marquette County, two in Dickinson County, and one each in Delta and Gogebic Counties.
The state says that 433 people have recovered across the state, but that was last updated on Saturday and is only updated on Saturdays.

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.
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 4/16/20 death data: MDHHS staff has put in place, a weekly review death certificate data maintained in Vital Records reporting systems. 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 a death, 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 this week’s assessment, today’s data includes 65 additional deaths that have been identified through 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: As of 4/16/2020, the MDHHS is including a case fatality rate for jurisdictions with at least one confirmed case of COVID-19 infection. The case fatality rate is the proportion of people who have died from causes associated with confirmed COVID-19 infection. It is often used as one of the measures of the severity of illness. However, it is important to note several factors can affect this measurement. The methodology employed to identify confirmed cases of illness can impact on the case fatality rate if the cases identified are more likely to be among people with serious illness. A testing strategy that has historically included prioritizing limited testing resources toward confirming infection of hospitalized cases of disease can lead to the overestimation of serious consequences greater than experienced by the entire population of ill persons. The impact of a low number of cases in any specific jurisdiction can contribute to a less accurate and a falsely high proportion of deaths. The results also hinge on public health’s ability to identify and include all associated deaths.

- Cumulative Total of Recovered COVID-19 Cases (as of 4/10/2020): 433Note 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 April 10, 2020 represents COVID-19 confirmed individuals with an onset date on or prior to March 11, 2020. These numbers will be updated every Saturday.
