New cases and deaths of COVID-19 continue to rise in Michigan. Testing has increased in recent weeks, with more than 45,000 diagnostic tests reported per day, but the positive rate rose to over 13% last week. Hospitalizations have increased steadily over the past five weeks, including increases in intensive care and ventilator use.

Michigan’s 7-day moving average for daily cases was 7,091 on Monday, near the highest on record. The 7-day average of deaths was 65, the highest since May. The state’s death rate is 2.7%. The state is also reporting “active cases,” which were listed at 153,000 on Monday, its highest score on record. More than 152,000 people have recovered in Michigan.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 4.6 million people have recovered in the United States, with more than 12.4 million cases reported across the country. More than 258,000 have died in the United States

Globally, more than 59.4 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 1.4 million have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The real numbers are certainly much higher, due to 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.

• Between people who are in close contact with each other (about six feet away).
• 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).
• Some spread may be possible before people show symptoms; this has been reported to occur with this new coronavirus, but this is not believed to be the primary means of spreading the virus.

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, continuously spreading without stopping.

Prevention and treatment

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent the disease is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, the CDC still recommends daily preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, including:

• Avoid close contact with sick people.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wear a mask or face mask when you are in public.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the toilet; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
