LANSING, Mich. – Michigan officials will not release the number of daily COVID-19 cases
On Wednesday (Dec. 23), Michigan announced 3,443 new COVID-19 cases and 70 additional deaths
The next update won’t come until Saturday (Dec. 26), the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services
“We wanted to give MDHHS staff some time off during the holidays,” MDHHS Director Robert Gordon said. “They have shown incredible dedication this year and deserve a chance to rest and celebrate with their families.”
Since the state doesn’t typically post new numbers on Sundays, the next two daily updates will come Saturday and Monday (Dec. 28). The same will be true after New Year’s Day, with new numbers being posted Jan. 2 and Jan. 4.
