Detroit — Mayor Mike Duggan on Tuesday night will lay out plans for shared sacrifices to address $300 million in revenue losses the city will face in the next year and a half because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The mayor first warned last week that there would be "painful cuts" to address the funding shortfall. The city has taken a hit on two of its major funding sources, income tax and gaming revenues.

"These are hard things to do," Duggan said. "The last time the city wouldn't face up to it, we ended up with (emergency manager) Kevyn Orr. That's not going to happen again. We're going to face up to these financial problems and solve them ourselves."

Duggan said the city, just six years out of bankruptcy, expects a deficit of about $100 million in the existing fiscal year ending June 30 and a shortfall of upwards of $200 million in the next year. His plan, he said, will call for shared sacrifice for all of Detroit's 9,000 employees. He expressed confidence that city services will remain intact, but said the cuts he'll propose should be implemented immediately.

The mayor announced his intentions to convene a 7 p.m. address Tuesday night to lay out proposals to help offset the funding losses as the city's confirmed cases of the virus on Monday reached nearly 7,000. The death toll for the city is now closing in on 400.

The Detroit Health Department's latest figures — 6,811 cases of coronavirus and 391 deaths — come after President Donald Trump said during a Friday press briefing that Detroit and New Orleans were among the cities nationally that he believed were "stabilizing" in the battle against the virus.

Detroit, the hardest-hit city in Michigan, reported 6,396 cases and 345 total deaths on Saturday. By Sunday, there were 115 more, for a total of 6,510 cases citywide and 363 total deaths.

Duggan noted in the last three days 67 Detroiters have died from the virus. But added "nearly every trend is heading in an encouraging direction." The city is averaging about 22 more deaths per day. The rate of deaths had been doubling every three or four days. Now, he said, it's every 10 to 12 days.

"There is no question the progress we're making is because of the people in the city of Detroit (are) honoring the request for social distancing," he said. "The city of Detroit saw one of the quickest spikes of coronavirus in the country. But it appears that so far we're doing an extremely effective job of knocking it back down."

Detroit is home to a regional testing site at the former Michigan State Fairgrounds. Nearly a third of all the testing for the virus in the state is taking place there.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Saturday announced that more than a dozen drive-thru testing sites would be opening up or expanding, including in Detroit, and an additional commercial lab for processing results could boost daily testing capacity by 40%.

Not all the news Monday was optimistic. Duggan said the city is concerned about the rate of spread of the virus in Detroit's nursing homes.

The city recently dedicated 50% of its rapid testing kits from Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories to quickly screen nursing home staff and residents as well as homeless individuals. In the next 10 days, the city's health department intends to test 240 residents and staff per day.

The city, Duggan said, lost another eight nursing home residents to COVID-19 since Friday, adding: "We've got to get this nursing home issue under control."

The mayor said he expects far fewer patients will need care at a temporary field hospital inside the TCF Center downtown. The site began accepting its first patients Friday from overwhelmed hospitals. Officials have said that workers at the site are preparing to care for up to 250 COVID-19 patients there by the end of this week.

On Monday, Detroit Pistons Owner Tom Gores announced he'd be providing 100,000 surgical masks for Detroit's first responders. Separately, Hyundai Motor America last week chipped in $100,000 and 10,000 more testing kits to boost capacity in the city.
