DETROIT (AP) — Michigan officials reported 206 new deaths from COVID-19 on Friday, the state’s highest daily toll since the pandemic began, and a temporary hospital for patients opened in Detroit to ease the pressure on health care providers in the region.
Despite the spike in deaths from the 117 reported Thursday, hospitals in hard-hit southeastern Michigan have been expressing optimism about their caseloads. Henry Ford Health System said the number of coronavirus patients had dropped to 696 from 752 earlier in the week.
Michigan Medicine at the University of Michigan did not open a temporary hospital Friday as planned.
“It appears from current COVID-19 cases and modeling that the curve is significantly flattening,” university spokeswoman Mary Masson said. “We are in communication with state officials to coordinate and determine future need.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has extended her stay-at-home order for Michigan residents through April 30.
“We are not out of the woods yet,” Whitmer said on Twitter as she reported the new deaths, which raised Michigan’s total to 1,282.
At least 25 patients were expected to arrive Friday at Detroit’s convention hall, TCF Center, from area hospitals. It’s equipped with 1,000 beds for people recovering from COVID-19, although that many beds might not be needed.
