GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan Health Department officials reported another 982 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Michigan on Thursday, according to the latest state data, while the tally of associate deaths rose by eight.

Data released Thursday brought the total number of cases in the state to 119,597 since the virus was first detected in Michigan in March and the number of deaths to 6,700.

Officials said the percentage of positive tests for the day was 3%.

Data indicated that the seven-day average of that rate is now just above 3%; state health officials would like to push it below that threshold, which they say would show community spread is under control.
