Testing has dropped to around 10,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate around 5.9% as of Tuesday, slightly higher than the previous week. Hospitalizations have been slowly increasing for the last two weeks.
Cases are rising again in Michigan. The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 694 on Tuesday, more than triple the average on July 1.

Michigan has reported more than 9.2 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Monday, with 63.8% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose while 55.6% of 16+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.
According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 35 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 613,000 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 4.1 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 345 million doses in the U.S. alone.
Worldwide, more than 199 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 4.2 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.
