Case report
The first is a graph showing new cases reported to the state each day for the past 30 days. This is based on when a confirmed coronavirus test is reported to the state, which means that the patient fell ill days before.
You can access a chart for any county and place your cursor over a bar to see the date and number of cases.
(In some cases, a county reported a negative number (decline) in new daily cases, after a retroactive reclassification by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In those cases, we subtract cases from the previous date and put 0 on the reported date.)
The next graph below shows new cases in the last 30 days based on the onset of symptoms. In this graph, the numbers for the most recent days are incomplete due to the time interval between people getting sick and getting a confirmed result from the coronavirus test, which can take up to a week or more.
