DETROIT – Michigan reported 9,313 new cases of COVID-19 and 65 virus-related deaths Monday -- an average of 3,104.3 cases over the past three days.

Monday’s update brings the total number of confirmed COVID cases in Michigan to 1,137,748, including 22,247 deaths. These numbers are up from 1,128,435 cases and 22,182 deaths, as of Friday.

The deaths announced Monday include 29 identified during a Vital Records review

Testing has increased to around 40,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate at 11.36% as of Friday, a very slight decrease from last week. Hospitalizations have been steadily increasing for several weeks.

The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 3,608 on Monday. The 7-day death average was 44 on Monday. The state’s fatality rate is 2.0%. The state also reports “active cases,” which were listed at 133,000 on Monday.

Michigan has reported more than 10 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Friday, with 69.2% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose while 60.6% of 16+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 45.9 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 745,000 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 6.9 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 414 million doses in the U.S. alone.

Worldwide, more than 246 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 4.9 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.
