Testing has been steady around 20,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate below 1.6% as of Friday, near the lowest on record. Hospitalizations have declined over the last several weeks, now near the lowest point since the start of the pandemic.
The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 144 on Friday -- the lowest since June 2020. The 7-day death average was 8 on Friday, the lowest since March. The state’s fatality rate is 2.2%. The state also reports “active cases,” which were listed at 10,000 on Friday.
Michigan has reported more than 9 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Wednesday, with 61.9% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose while 54% of 16+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.
According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 33.7 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 605,500 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 3.2 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 322 million doses in the U.S. alone.
Worldwide, more than 184 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 3.98 million have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The true numbers are certainly much higher, because of limited testing, different ways nations count the dead and deliberate under-reporting by some governments.
