OUTBREAK REPORTING

The table below provides the number of outbreaks that local health departments report to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services every week. 

COVID-19 outbreaks are generally defined as two or more cases with a link by place and time indicating a shared exposure outside of a household.

Local health departments report the number of new and ongoing outbreaks they are investigating by the setting of the outbreak.

Many factors, including the lack of ability to conduct effective contact tracing in certain settings, may result in significant underreporting of outbreaks. This chart does not provide a complete picture of outbreaks in Michigan and the absence of identified outbreaks in a particular setting in no way provides evidence that, in fact, that setting is not having outbreaks.

This page will be updated on Mondays by 3 p.m.
