About the data

In data for Michigan, the Times primarily relies on reports from the state, as well as health districts or county governments that often report ahead of the state. The state does not update its data on Sundays. Prior to September, it released new data daily. The state reports cases and deaths based on a person’s permanent or usual residence. The state also includes nonresidents diagnosed in the state, but the Times excludes this category since nonresidents are likely also counted in their home state. The Times has identified the following reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data: Our database begins to include cases and deaths among federal and state prison inmates in Michigan which are reported separately by the state Department of Health. The Times began including probable cases and deaths reported by Michigan's county and regional health districts. Michigan started to report probable cases and deaths statewide, leading to a one-day increase in total cases and deaths. Michigan did not report new cases or deaths while resolving a technical issue. The Times totals for each county in Michigan include cases and deaths among federal and state prison inmates which are reported separately by the state Department of Health. Prison cases and deaths are included starting April 15. The tallies on this page include probable and confirmed cases and deaths. Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments. Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible.
