DETROIT – The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has increased to 590,217 since Tuesday, including 15,558 deaths, state officials said.

Tuesday’s update includes a total of 1,067 new cases and 24 additional deaths, including 12 from a Vital Records analysis. On Monday, the state reported 589,150 confirmed cases, including 15,534 deaths.

The new COVID-19 cases have flattened and deaths have slowed. Tests have slowed in the last week, reaching about 35,000 diagnostic tests reported on average per day, with a positive 7-day rate falling below 4.0% since Tuesday. Hospitalizations have been declining for several weeks and have been flat in the last week.

The 7-day moving average in Michigan for daily cases was 1,107 months – slightly higher than last week. The average death rate for 7 days was 22 months. The fatality rate of the state is 2.6%. The state also reports “active cases”, which were listed at 32,400 months – the lowest level since October. More than 541,000 have recovered in Michigan.

Michigan reported more than 2.2 million doses of COVID-19 administered, starting Monday.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 28.6 million cases have been reported in the United States., with more than 514,600 deaths reported by the virus.

All over the world, more than 114.5 million people were confirmed infected and more than 2.5 million died. More than 64 million were 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 of Michigan has lost weight COVID-19 restrictions at bars and restaurants, including capacity limit and nightlife.

Tuesday (March 2), the governor. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced that the restrictions on the indoor table had been revised.

Starting Friday (March 5), Michigan restaurants and bars will be allowed to fill up to 50 percent capacity with up to 100 people, according to the state.

“I am proud to be able to take this positive step without compromising public health,” Whitmer said.

As of February 1, restaurants were limited to 25%. From mid-November to the end of January, meals were not allowed indoors at bars or restaurants.

Michigan is expected to receive 82,700 doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine this week.

J&J vaccine doses are expected in Michigan by Wednesday, a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) spokeswoman said Monday. These doses will go to health departments and hospitals.

Over the weekend, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for an emergency use authorization. The J&J single-dose vaccine joins Pfizer and Moderna to give Americans three options. Nearly 4 million doses of J&J vaccine are expected to begin delivery in the US on Monday.

Michigan reported more than 2 million doses of COVID-19 administered starting Thursday, February 25th.

Through a partnership with SMART, Macomb County offers a new vaccination location in Sterling Heights.

The vaccination site is located at the Sterling Heights Senior Center on Utica Road, between Schoenherr and Van Dyke Roads.

Meetings are needed. Residents and eligible workers can call the SMART Macomb Vaccine Line at 586-421-6579.

Wayne County has announced that it will open several vaccination clinics for residents over the age of 65.

According to county executive Warren Evans, vaccination clinics will begin on February 23.

“I’m pleased that Wayne County is now able to start vaccinating the elderly,” Evans said. “I know everyone is eager to return to normal. Our team works hard to ensure that all our residents can get the COVID vaccine as soon as the vaccine is available. ”

There are no walking meetings and seniors must make an appointment by calling the site number in their communities.

The full list of clinics and how to register can be found here.

According to Michigan officials, the CDC says the Pfizer vaccines were not shipped at all on Feb. 15 due to bad weather. A limited amount of these vaccines will be shipped this week.

Deliveries of Modern COVID vaccines were also affected, with no shipments from the Memphis McKesson distribution center on February 15, 16 or 17 due to the weather. Some shipments of Moderna vaccine were also stopped last week due to weather conditions.

Officials say the CDC is working with companies to resume distribution operations as soon as possible.

It is currently unclear whether any of Michigan’s Modern Vaccine orders will be shipped to the state on Thursday or Friday, February 18th. MDHHS officials say more information will be shared once it is known.

The news comes as several COVID-19 vaccination meetings were rescheduled in Michigan this week due to severe weather conditions.

For the second week in a row, Michigan Medicine has announced that it can only provide COVID-19 vaccine appointments to those receiving the second shot due to a limited amount of vaccine.

Only those who have received the first dose through Michigan Medicine can receive the second dose at health care vaccine clinics.

Those who have previously received an invitation to make an appointment for their first dose are reminded that the invitation remains open. Michigan Medicine is asking those waiting for the first dose to return next week to see if new appointments are available.

Michigan did not receive the amount of COVID vaccines expected from the federal government, prompting the state to take part of the first dose and transfer it to those already scheduled for the second dose.

The decision means that some people who have an appointment for the first dose set for next week may be postponed.

“MDHHS, with assistance from MING, asked local health departments and hospitals about the need for second-dose vaccines. We address any shortage of secondary doses in the orders we place for shipment next week. About 37,300 doses of the “first dose” will need to be used to provide complete vaccination for people who are due a second dose, “said Lynn Sutfin of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
