DETROIT – The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has risen to 886,118 as of Wednesday, including 19,031 deaths, state officials report.

Wednesday’s update includes a total of 799 new cases and 12 additional deaths. On Tuesday, Michigan reported a total of 885,319 cases and 19,019 deaths.

Testing has been steady around 35,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate below 5% as of Wednesday, the lowest in several weeks. Hospitalizations have declined over the last several weeks.

Overall, new cases have slowed over the last 28 days. The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 919 on Wednesday -- the first time it’s been below 1,000 in months. The 7-day death average was 40 on Wednesday. The state’s fatality rate is 2.1%. The state also reports “active cases,” which were listed at 76,100 on Wednesday.

More than 791,000 have recovered from the virus in Michigan.

Michigan has reported more than 8.1 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Wednesday, with 58.1% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose while 48.5% of 16+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 33.1 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 591,900 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 1.7 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 288 million doses in the U.S. alone.

Worldwide, more than 168 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 3.5 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.

Michigan announces updated workplace rules

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spoke Monday about the steps and rules residents will have to follow as they return to in-person work across the state.

On May 10, Michigan surpassed the milestone of 55% of people ages 16 and up receiving at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. As a result, in-person work was set to resume two weeks later: today, May 24.

Whitmer spoke from a Grand Rapids business Monday to outline MIOSHA’s rules for returning to the workplace.

“Back in October 2020, MIOSHA issued emergency COVID rules, laying out specific mitigation measures, helping businesses keep patrons and their workplace safe,” Whitmer said. “These emergency rules had an expiration date of October 2021, meaning they would expire automatically unless formalized into permanent rules.”

Whitmer outlines Michigan’s new schedule for lifting COVID rules

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer officially revealed Michigan’s new schedule for eliminating COVID restrictions and returning to normal.

On Wednesday, the governor’s office hinted that the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services would update its pandemic order after the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention made changes to its recommendations for fully vaccinated people.

Less than 24 hours later, Whitmer held a COVID briefing and announced a revised MI Vacc To Normal plan as cases decline and the number of vaccinated residents rises.

Here’s what’s changing -- read here.

Michigan lifts mask requirements for fully vaccinated residents

Michigan is lifting mask requirements for most indoor and outdoor settings for fully vaccinated residents, matching newly issued guidance from the CDC.

The new order took effect on Saturday, May 15.

Under the updated MDHHS Gatherings and Mask Order, Michiganders who are outdoors will no longer need to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status.

While indoors, fully vaccinated Michiganders will no longer need to wear a mask, but residents who are not vaccinated, or have not completed their vaccinations, must continue to wear a mask or face covering to protect themselves and others.

After July 1, the broad indoor mask mandate will expire.

Michigan hits first vaccine goal

Michigan has reached the first of four vaccine milestones that will trigger the easing of COVID-19 restrictions across the state.

At the end of April, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer revealed the state will ease COVID-19 restrictions based on the percentage of Michiganders who have received at least one dose of the vaccine. That plan has since changed into something different entirely, but some restrictions are still affected by it.

Weeks ago, the state of Michigan reached the threshold of 55% of residents having received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. Under the initial reopening plan, once the 55% threshold was reached, in-person work can resume two weeks later (May 24).
