DETROIT – The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has increased to 512,751 since Thursday, including 13,094 deaths, state officials report.

Thursday’s update includes 4,015 new cases and 176 additional deaths, including 138 from a Vital Records analysis. On Wednesday, the state reported a total of 508,736 cases and 12,918 deaths.

New COVID-19 cases are slowing, but deaths remain high in Michigan. Testing slowed during the holidays, with over 35,000 diagnostic tests reported per day, with the positive rate rising to about 9% in recent days. Hospitalizations have declined slowly, but remain relatively high, including in critical care and the use of ventilators.

The 7-day moving average in Michigan for daily cases was 2,942 on Wednesday, slightly higher than the previous week. The average 7-day death rate was 80. The state mortality rate is 2.5%. The state also reports “active cases”, which were listed at 133,300 on Wednesday. More than 363,000 have recovered in Michigan.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 21 million cases have been reported in the United States, with more than 361,400 reported deaths from the virus.

Worldwide, more than 87 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 1.88 million have died. More than 48 million have been recovered, according to Johns Hopkins University. The real numbers are certainly much higher, due to limited tests, the different ways in which nations count deaths and the deliberate reporting of governments.

The state is currently under a “break” that has placed stricter COVID-19 regulations at restaurants, schools and more, but that order was scheduled to expire on Sunday (December 20).

Now, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has issued a revised version of the order, which will run until Jan. 15.

Here’s what opens and stays closed under command.

A new tool created by Michigan health officials can calculate how likely a person is to get COVID-19 and how serious their infection might be depending on their life situation and personal behaviors.

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services launched “CV19 CheckUp” – a free, anonymous tool that assesses the risks associated with COVID-19.

“This tool, which we will make available to all Michiganderers, helps individuals understand their risk based on their life situation and personal behavior and provides recommendations for reducing these risks, while connecting people to services, if it is necessary, ”said Dr. Alexis Travis, senior deputy director of the Agency for Aging & Adult Services.

Travis said the tool can be used by all Michigan residents, but is specifically designed to help adults 60 and older. It is anonymous and does not require a name, email address or identifier of any kind.

The tool used artificial intelligence to analyze each person through an online questionnaire. It is designed for those who are considered high risk.

The algorithms of the instrument are driven by science and medicine, using data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization.
