Updated 1 hour ago
Nearly 49% of those who contracted the coronavirus in Michigan are considered recovered as of Friday.
The state released its weekly recovery tally Saturday. In total, 22,686 individuals are now considered recovered because they are still alive 30 days after the onset of symptoms.
The state also announced 133 additional deaths due to the virus, 67 of which occurred days or weeks prior to Friday's daily tally and were added after a review of death certificates where COVID-19 was identified as a contributing factor.
The state also reported 430 new confirmed coronavirus cases.

It's early yet to fully understand this vicious virus.

Be nice to see those numbers. I know the numbers provided are absurdly low.
