(March 31, 2022 1:55 PM)  The Jackson County Health Department released the COVID-19 positive numbers for Jackson County.  As of 12:00 PM today, there are 39,340 positive cases (cumulative), and 548 deaths (cumulative)*.  

There are 10 new cases since yesterday’s report.

Henry Ford Health continues to see a decline in COVID cases across all their hospitals, reaching the lowest COVID-19 inpatient numbers in nearly two years (32 cases). Henry Ford Jackson Hospital is in the low single digits for cases. This will be Henry Ford Health’s last update about COVID numbers unless there is a significant rise in cases. 

The Jackson County Health Department has announced a change in reporting effective Oct. 6, 2021.  Cases defined as probable will be reported in cumulative case and death counts.  As additional methods of testing besides the PCR test have become more common, the amount of cases classified as probable has increased and are included to provide a more accurate picture of disease in our community. 

Cumulative recovered, as of March 31:  38,521**

The cumulative numbers posted on Mondays include the data from Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  Recovered numbers are being posted as received.
