The state health department reported a two-day total of 2,066 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and eight new deaths on Monday, Feb. 1.
Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services doesn’t report coronavirus data on Sundays, and instead reports two-day totals on Monday.
Health officials recommend looking at seven-day averages to track trends throughout the pandemic. Over the last week, Michigan has averaged 1,166 cases and 39 deaths per day.
The state’s latest daily case average is the lowest its been since Oct. 12, while daily deaths average is the lowest since Nov. 7. Two weeks ago, the health department was reporting 2,108 cases and 60 deaths per day.

Seventy-one counties reported at least one new case Monday, while eight counties reported at least one new death.
Wayne County added 333 cases, while Oakland had 235, Kent had 170, Macomb had 154, Washtenaw had 130, and Ingham had 102.
Macomb and Washtenaw counties each had two new deaths, while Calhoun, Monroe, Bay, Manistee, Houghton and Iron counties each reported one new death. Wayne County had three deaths removed from its cumulative total, which generally means there was a recent correction.

Hospitals across the state were treating 1,409 patients with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 on Monday, down from 1,479 such patients on Friday and 1,647 a week ago.
As is typically the case over the weekend, Sunday’s test total was below average. Of the 23,624 tests processed, 6.15% came back positive for coronavirus -- the highest rate in six days.
Case reporting
First is a chart 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 the patient first became sick days before.
You can call up a chart for any county, and you can put your cursor over a bar to see the date and number of cases.
(In a few instances, a county reported a negative number (decline) in daily new cases, following a retroactive reclassification by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In those instances, we subtracted cases from the prior date and put 0 in the reported date.)
The next chart below shows new cases for the past 30 days based on onset of symptoms. In this chart, numbers for the most recent days are incomplete because of the lag time between people getting sick and getting a confirmed coronavirus test result, which can take up to a week or more.
