Michigan Adds 1,500 New Positive Tests, 25 In Upper Peninsula

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced 1,484 new coronavirus cases on Monday and three new deaths.

These are two-day totals, as reports are not issued on Sundays. The numbers continue a downward trend in new cases, percent positive rates, and deaths.

Michigan now has a total of 581,403 cases and 15,362 deaths since the crisis began last March.

The state also has 56,525 “probable cases” and 981 “probable deaths” that are not confirmed by a positive test result, but COVID-19 is believed to be the cause.

The Upper Peninsula added 25 new cases over the last two days, with almost all of them in the western U.P.: eleven in Gogebic County and seven in Houighton County. One new death was reported in Iron County.

The U.P. now has 16,314 confirmed positive test results, and 382 confirmed COVID-19 deaths since the crisis began in March of 2020.

The U.P. has had a total of 3,989 probable cases and 91 probable deaths.

Some local health departments may report different numbers on different days. We use the MDHHS numbers in our report for consistency.

The state also is reporting that more than 11,000 people have recovered in the past week. That is defined as being alive at least 30 days after the diagnosis or onset of symptoms. Michigan now has 529,080 total recovered cases. This number is updated once a week, on Saturdays.
