Michigan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases up to 93,662; The death toll is now 6,340

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan rose to 93,662 on Tuesday, including 6,340 deaths, state officials report.

Tuesday’s update represents 477 new cases and 15 additional deaths, seven as a result of a vital examination. As of Monday, the state’s totals were 93,185 cases and 6,325 deaths.

New cases have leveled off in the past two weeks, while deaths remain stable in Michigan. Testing has remained stable, averaging over 25,000 per day, with a positive rate of between 3 and 4 percent. The state reported its highest day-to-day test total with more than 41,000 diagnostic tests on August 12.

Hospitalizations increased slightly, but remain considerably lower than in April.

Michigan reported 67,778 recoveries. The state is also reporting “active cases,” which were listed at 19,000 as of Monday. Michigan’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 746 on Monday.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 1.8 million people have recovered in the United States, with more than 5.4 million cases reported across the country. Over 170,000 have died in the United States

Globally, more than 21 million people have been confirmed to be infected and more than 775,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The real numbers are certainly much higher, due to the limited testing, the different ways nations count the dead, and the deliberate underreporting of some governments.

How COVID-19 is spread

Person-to-person spread

The virus is believed to be spread mainly from person to person.

• By respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people nearby, or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Can anyone spread the virus without getting sick?

• It is believed that people are most contagious when they are the most symptomatic (sickest).

Spread by contact with contaminated surfaces or objects

It is possible that a person could contract COVID-19 by touching a surface or object containing the virus and then touching their own mouth, nose or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the primary route of the virus. virus. spreads.

The ease with which the virus spreads

The ease with which a virus spreads from person to person can vary. Some viruses are very contagious (spread easily), such as measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, spreading continuously without stopping.

Prevention and treatment

• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
