Another 801 cases of coronavirus COVID-19 have been reported in Michigan, with the total number reaching 3,657 on Friday, March 27, up from 2,856 from the day before.

Ninety-two people have died, according to the state’s daily update on coronavirus numbers. That’s up from 60 on Thursday.

Once again, the number of Michigan coronavirus cases has more than doubled in the past three days, although health officials say that’s partly due to a significant increase in testing.

The numbers have spiked since last week, when the state began to significantly increase the number of people tested for the coronavirus.

Fifty-six of Michigan’s 83 counties are home to a resident who contracted coronavirus.

About 83% of the COVID-19 cases are in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

The disproportionate number of cases in metro Detroit is a result of several factors, including the area’s large population, more aggressive testing in those counties and community spread of coronavirus, said Lynn Sutfin, spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

About 39% of Michigan residents live in Wayne, Oakland or Macomb counties.

There are 1,075 patients who are Detroit residents; 735 who live elsewhere in Wayne County; 824 who live in Oakland County and 404 in Macomb County.

Of the 92 patients who died, 23 were residents of Detroit, 14 in Wayne County outside of Detroit, 26 in Oakland County, 14 in Macomb, three in Washtenaw, four in Genesee, two in Muskegon and one each in Kent, Ingham, Livingston, Mecosta, Tuscola, Marquette and Gogebic counties.

CORONAVIRUS PREVENTION TIPS

In addition to washing hands regularly and not touching your face, officials recommend practicing social distancing, assuming anyone may be carrying the virus. Health officials say you should be staying at least 6 feet away from others and working from home, if possible. Carry hand sanitizer with you, and use disinfecting wipes or disinfecting spray cleaners on frequently-touched surfaces in your home ( door handles, faucets, countertops ) and when you go into places like stores.
