- The cumulative county COVID-19 case rate map will be replaced with a map of the CDC COVID-19 community levels and will be refreshed on Fridays.
- Reporting on the subset of deaths identified via vital records review will be discontinued
The state had previously changed reporting frequency through the pandemic based on the current stage of COVID spread. Last summer, reporting dropped to twice per week, before the Delta surge last fall forced the state to add another day.
Michigan’s 7-day case and death averages, as well as hospitalizations, are near record-lows as of the end of March.
Monday’s update: Michigan reports 1,258 new COVID cases, 6 deaths -- average of 419 cases per day
