The deaths announced Monday include 63 identified during a Vital Records review.

Testing has increased to around 50,000 diagnostic tests reported per day on average, with the 7-day positive rate at 16.53% as of Friday -- a decrease from last week. Hospitalizations have been steadily increasing for several weeks and are at the highest point of the pandemic.

The state’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 5,481 on Monday, lower than the previous week. The 7-day death average was 100 on Monday. The state’s fatality rate is 1.8%. The state also reports “active cases,” which were listed at 209,000 on Monday.

Michigan has reported more than 10.8 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Friday, with 67.9% of 16+ residents having received at least one dose, while 62.4% of 16+ residents are considered fully vaccinated.

Across Michigan’s entire population, 62.6% have received at last one COVID vaccine dose.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 50 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 804,900 deaths reported from the virus. Globally, more than 8.6 billion vaccine doses have been administered, including more than 487 million doses in the U.S. alone.

Worldwide, more than 273 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 5.3 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.
