U-M announces a new policy protecting school community members who report wrongful conduct from retaliation.

Michigan health officials announced on Tuesday that the state would no longer be reporting COVID-19 data on Sundays, starting this weekend. Beginning Sunday, Sept. 6, data on cases, deaths and testing will be reported Monday Saturday. If you follow the COVID-19 data closely, you have probably noticed lower cases reported on Sunday -- and at times, on Monday -- due to a lower volume of tests being reported from labs on weekends. This change will allow staff who have not had a real day off since February to get some relief and allow the department to prioritize more valuable data reporting, including school outbreak information.Sunday and Monday data will both be reported on Mondays, including Labor Day. MDHHS says this change will not affect the departments ability to provide onset date information for COVID-19 cases.
