Michigan reported 1,366 new cases and 166 new deaths as of Tuesday morning, according to newly-released state data.

The state has 27,783 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 1,768 confirmed deaths, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services, The three counties of metro Detroit still make up 80 percent of the state’s cases: Wayne, outside of Detroit (5,205, rising from 4,867), Oakland (5,364, up from 5,073) and Macomb (3,620, up from 3,418) counties.

The city of Detroit has 7,004 reported cases and 427 deaths as of Tuesday, up from 6,781 cases and 395 deaths. Wayne County is the third highest county in the nation for the number of deaths, just behind two New York counties, as of Tuesday afternoon.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said in a news conference on Monday that although the city’s number of deaths is slowing, nursing home deaths continue to be a concern. There have been 26 deaths associated with nursing homes as of Monday.

Michigan currently ranks 27th in the nation for number of residents tested per capita. More than a dozen drive-thru test sites were opened and expanded across Michigan on Monday, along with a new laboratory in Grand Rapids that’s expected to increase the state’s daily number of reports by 40 percent.

Oakland County residents will have greater access to coronavirus testing under a new partnership between the county and Honor Community Health.

Testing at the drive-thru site in Pontiac will be prioritized for first responders, essential business employees and Pontiac residents who display symptoms of COVID-19.

Officials hope to be able to process about 250 tests a day by next week. Results are expected within 24-48 hours.

Health officials chose the Pontiac location because fewer residents there have been tested than from other Oakland county communities, county executive Dave Coulter said Tuesday. Testing will be opened to others as capacity increases, he said.

Testing will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays beginning Thursday at the Oakland County government campus at 1200 N. Telegraph. A prescription is required. Residents may request one from the Oakland County Health Division at 1-800-848-5533.

Oakland County also now requires essential workers who have face-to-face contact with the public to wear protective masks.

The late-evening order Monday covers “grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and locations where social distancing measures are not possible,” and it includes employees who have close contact with goods the public may purchase.

Employees, however, “should not” use N95 masks or surgical masks, reserving those for health care workers, Coulter said during a news conference Tuesday morning. Though workers are encouraged to use the store-bought or hand-made masks now, the requirement isn’t in place until April 27, giving businesses time to acquire the facewear for their employees.

Oakland County Health Officer Leigh-Anne Stafford, who signed the three-page order, also extended requirements that businesses screen employees for coronavirus symptoms and determine whether they have had “close contact” with a person with confirmed COVID-19.
