GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Health department leaders say Michigan has recorded three more deaths linked to coronavirus and on Sunday confirmed 297 more cases.

The state of Michigan released the latest figures Monday afternoon bring the total number of deaths to 5,975 and the total number of cases to 66,173 since the outbreak began in March.

Nearly 53,000 are now considered recovered, which means they are still alive 30 days after developing symptoms.

Labs in Michigan Sunday tested 12,579 samples for coronavirus and just shy of 3% came back positive. In the second half of last week, as the number of daily tests surpassed 20,000, the positive rates were between 2.78% and 3.2%.

Officials noted none of the three new COVID-19 deaths were in West Michigan.
