Michigan public health officials reported Monday 25,329 new COVID-19 cases over a five-day period, Thursday-Monday, and 137 additional virus deaths over the past five days.
That case total brought the state’s total confirmed number to 1,301,593 and deaths to 23,732 since the onset of the pandemic. Of the 137 deaths announced Monday, 57 were identified during a vital records review. Normally, the Monday COVID-19 data only includes Saturday-Monday. But due to the Thursday Thanksgiving holiday, numbers were not released Friday, resulting in the five days worth of data Monday.
According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), those totals represent testing data collected Thursday-Monday. MDHHS publishes new case, death, and vaccination numbers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with new outbreak-related data published every Monday.
Locally, since Thursday, Macomb County has reported 2,829 new cases and 15 additional deaths. In Oakland County, there were 3,125 new cases and seven additional deaths. In Wayne County, there were 3,181 new cases and nine additional deaths.
The state’s vaccination coverage rate for residents 16 and older is 70.9%, up 0.1% since Wednesday, with more than 5.74 million residents receiving at least one dose. The vaccination coverage rate for residents 5 and older is at 60.7%, up 0.4% since Wednesday.
Michigan’s number of hospitalized adults with confirmed COVID-19 cases reached a new pandemic high Monday, nearly 4,200, as the state continued to confront surging infections.
The total of 4,181 surpassed the previous record of 4,158, which was set seven months ago during the state’s third wave.
Only Minnesota had a higher seven-day case rate than Michigan as of Sunday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
State health officials are urging people to get vaccinated and to wear masks in public settings to limit the spread of the coronavirus amid the fourth surge. The federal government has deployed military medical staffers to help Michigan hospitals cope.
