Michigan passed its peak date for active COVID-19 infections months ago, according to research from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation released earlier this month.

Although the number of daily new cases around the United States is gradually decreasing, more than 30 states have not yet reached their peak date for active COVID-19 infections. A dozen of these states won't reach their peak date until December, according to researchers.

IHME is an independent global health research center at the University of Washington. It released projections on Aug. 6 regarding the total number of active infections and the total number of hospital beds needed for COVID-19 patients. 

As of Friday, Michigan is one of 19 states where the peak date has passed for active infections. Thirty-one states have yet to reach their peak.

Michigan is the state with the 11th fewest average new daily cases and the 16th fewest cumulative confirmed cases as of Aug. 9, IHME's research shows. It also has the seventh most coronavirus-related deaths as of Aug. 9. 

Here's what IHME had to say about Michigan's peak coronavirus dates:

Estimated peak date for active infections: March 29, 2020

Estimated peak date for hospital beds needed: April 18, 2020

Date of first known case: March 10, 2020

Average new daily cases for week ending Aug. 9: 7 per 100,000 people

Cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases as of Aug. 9: 968 per 100,000 people

COVID-19 related deaths as of Aug. 9: 65 per 100,000 people

More COVID-19 peak dates across the U.S.: Coronavirus pandemic likely hasn't peaked in the majority of states
