A majority of Michigan counties saw their seven-day average of new coronavirus cases tick down over the weekend, while a majority also saw their positivity rate on coronavirus diagnostic tests tick up.

Statewide, the seven-day average of new cases is 6,430, down from an seven-day average of 6,759 a week ago today. But seven-day average positivity rate is now 14.4%, up from 13% a week ago.

Below is a closer look at the county-level data, based on the metrics used by the Michigan Department of Heath and Human Services in assessing coronavirus risk levels. The scale used by MDHHS has six levels -- “low” plus Levels A-E.

First, a look at the seven-day average positivity rates by county, grouped by the state’s metric.

• Level E (over 20%): Five counties, highest to lowest -- Hillsdale, Oscoda, Branch, Tuscola and Dickinson.
• Level D (15-20%): 28 counties, highest to lowest -- Montmorency, Benzie, Lapeer, Macomb, Saginaw, Gogebic, Berrien, Van Buren, Gladwin, Cass, St. Clair, Bay, Muskegon, Livingston, Alcona, Allegan, Ontonagon, Kalkaska, Barry, Newaygo, Ottawa, Oceana, Sanilac, Genesee, Arenac, Crawford, Kent and Presque Isle.
• Level C (10-15%): 34 counties, highest to lowest -- Iosco, Huron, Montcalm, Roscommon, Monroe, Eaton, Oakland, Wayne, Ionia, Jackson, Baraga, Shiawassee, Lenawee, Wexford, Isabella, Grand Traverse, Osceola, Calhoun, Alpena, Kalamazoo, Ingham, St. Joseph, Midland, Mecosta, Leelanau, Delta, Clare, Ogemaw, Lake, Cheboygan, Manistee, Otsego, Clinton and Charlevoix.
• Level B (7-10%): Eight counties, highest to lowest --Missaukee, Mason, Washtenaw, Menominee, Marquette, Antrim, Houghton and Gratiot.
• Level A (3-7%): Six counties -- Iron, Schoolcraft, Alger, Emmet, Chippewa and Mackinac.
• Low (under 3%): Keweenaw and Luce.

The chart below allows you to look up any county by name to see the seven-day average positivity rate for Nov. 28-Dec. 4. (Can’t see the chart? Click here.)

New cases per capita

New daily cases per capita is another metric used by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to access coronavirus risk.

In this metric -- which calculates the average number of new cases per 1 million residents -- 82 counties are at Level E, the highest risk level on the MDHHS scale. The cutoff for Level E is 150 cases per day per million residents. Luce is at Level D.

Here 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 current scores are based on new cases reported Nov. 29-Dec. 5. The map below is shaded based on the state’s six levels. 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 (Nov. 22-28).

The current scores are based on new cases reported Nov. 26-Dec. 3. The map below is shaded based on the state’s six levels. The arrows indicate whether the total number of new cases reported in the last seven days has gone up or down compared to Nov. 18-25.

MDHHS overall score by region

MDHHS has assigned an overall score to each of the state’s MI Start regions, looking 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.

Since Nov. 4, all eight of Michigan’s MI Start regions have been at the highest level the state uses to assess coronavirus risk.

This interactive map shows those eight regions and their current scores. You can put your cursor over a county to see the underlying data.

(The state’s MI Start districts: Region 1 is the Detroit region; Region 2 is Grand Rapids; Region 3, Kalamazoo; Region 4, Saginaw; Region 5, Lansing; Region 6, Traverse City; Region 7, Lansing, and Region 8, the Upper Peninsula.)

Below are online databases that allow readers to look up county-level data for each of the last 20 days.

Cases by day it was reported to the state

First is a chart showing new cases reported to the state each day for the past 30 days. This is based on when a confirmed coronavirus test is reported to the state, which means the patient first became sick days before.

You can call up a chart for any county, and you can put your cursor over a bar to see the date and number of cases. (As of Sept. 1, the state stopped reporting numbers on Sundays.)

(In a few instances, a county reported a negative number (decline) in daily new cases, following a retroactive reclassification by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In those instances, we subtracted cases from the prior date and put 0 in the reported date.)

The next chart below shows new cases for the past 30 days based on onset of symptoms. In this chart, numbers for the most recent days are incomplete because of the lag time between people getting sick and getting a confirmed coronavirus test result, which can take up to a week or more.

More localized maps

Below are two maps created by the EpiBayes research group at University of Michigan’s Department of Epidemiology, which has access to sub-county data collected by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The interactive maps break down the state into 10 kilometer hexogons to provide more a more localized look at where coronavirus cases are occurring. You can click here to get to the research project website.

The first map looks at confirmed and probable coronavirus cases in the past week. You can click on a hexagon to see the underlying data.

You can use the triangle button at the upper right of the map to toggle to the second map, which shows total confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Latest daily report

On Saturday, Dec. 5, the state reported 6,004 new cases of coronavirus and 193 new deaths.
