Michigan now has a positivity rate of 15% as a seven-day average on coronavirus diagnostic tests, the highest since the spring 2020 surge.
And those spring 2020 numbers are an apples-and-oranges comparison because of limited access to coronavirus tests last spring, which meant only seriously ill patients were tested a year ago.
During the fall surge -- which killed 7,449 Michigan residents between November and January -- the state’s seven-day average positivity rate peaked at 14.4% on Dec. 4.
The highest one-day rate during the fall surge was 16% on Dec. 2. By comparison, the state reported a rate of 17.3% on Saturday, April 3, for test results that came in Friday.
Seventeen counties now have seven-day average positivity rates over 20% and three -- Sanilac, Huron and Oscoda -- have rates over 30%.
Below is a look at state and county numbers for new cases and positivity rates, as well as statewide numbers on hospitalizations, deaths and vaccinations..
New cases: The state is averaging 5,637 new cases a day.
That’s up 42% from 3,965 a week ago, and is the state’s highest average in 2021.
Of Michigan’s 83 counties, 79 reported new cases Saturday. Counties that did not report new cases were located in the Upper Peninsula, including Keweenaw, Luce, Baraga and Ontonagon.
Wayne County led in new cases with 1,676, followed by Macomb with 1,279 and Oakland with 1,183. Other top reporting counties included Kent, 470; St. Clair, 378; Kalamazoo, 329; Genesee, 323, Ottawa, 200, and Washtenaw, 158.
Just to put those numbers in context: Wayne reported more new cases on Saturday than it did for the entire first seven days of March.
Below is an online database that allows readers to see the number of new coronavirus cases in the past seven days compared to the previous week, as well as the per capita number that adjusts for population. The arrows indicate whether the total number of new cases reported in the last seven days has gone up or down compared to the previous seven days.
The top counties in cases per capita over the past seven days: St. Clair, Huron, Sanilac, Macomb and Missaukee.
The map below is shaded based on the state’s six risk-assessment levels. The arrows indicate whether the total number of new cases reported in the last seven days has gone up or down compared to March 21-27.

State’s overall risk assessment: All 8 regions at highest level
All eight Michigan’s MI Start regions are back up to Level E in the state’s overall risk assessment.
In assigning the risk scores, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services looks at factors such as new cases and deaths per capita, test positivity rates, number of tests administered and emergency department visits for COVID-19 symptoms. The scale used by MDHHS has six levels -- “low” plus Levels A-E.
