This revised FAQ information page will help you understand the numbers and why we post them the way that we do.
NOTE: Due to a upgrade in the Michigan Disease Surveillance System, the time when we post numbers will change immediately to 3:00 p.m. each day. No numbers will be posted on Sundays as previously indicated and in keeping with the schedule established by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). The cumulative numbers posted on Monday will include the data from Sunday and Monday . Recovered numbers are being posted as received.

Epicurve Data
The Epicurve graph available (thru 1/24/2021) will allow you to see how the daily number of cases have gone up and down since the first case was identified in March. You can open the Epicurve Data here. EpiCurve data will be posted each Monday according to the template which collects and runs the numbers.
Map of Cases
In order to better illustrate areas of highest positive rates, the legend has again been revised to allow for higher cases counts in each color grouping. The 1/25/2021 map of Cumulative Cases of COVID-19 in Jackson County Townships is posted. At times, street addresses are not always available which affect the ability to map all data. If this occurs, a difference between posted cases totals and mapped cases may be seen. You can download a pdf version of the map for printing.
