ESCANABA — Local data Wednesday showed five new confirmed COVID-19 positives and another virus-related death in Menominee County, while Delta County added three cases since Monday.

But the probable case count went down by two in Delta County and by one in Menominee County over the two-day period, according to figures posted on the Public Health of Delta and Menominee Counties website Wednesday.

The PHDM on Wednesday had Delta County at 7,895 confirmed positives, 2,038 probable cases and 155 deaths since the pandemic began. Menominee County has had 3,945 confirmed positives, 1,689 probables and 64 deaths. The deaths included confirmed and probable.

On the state level, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services coronavirus website Wednesday had 39 new confirmed positives in the Upper Peninsula since Monday: nine in Houghton County; six in Menominee and Chippewa counties; four in Delta, Marquette and Mackinac counties; two in Gogebic County; and one in Dickinson, Keweenaw, Luce and Baraga counties. The state recorded a death blamed on the virus in Delta County, but that appears to have been reflected earlier in local numbers.

Using only the MDHHS figures, the Upper Peninsula as of Wednesday has had 51,288 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 827 deaths.

Across the U.P., the MDHHS data site Wednesday had Keweenaw County at 457 confirmed cases and 54 probable, and 12 confirmed deaths and one probable death; Luce County, 662 confirmed cases and 763 probable, 10 confirmed deaths and one probable death; Ontonagon County, 877 confirmed, 104 probable and 35 deaths, three probable; Alger County, 1,056 confirmed, 659 probable and eight deaths, five probable; Schoolcraft County, 1,083 confirmed cases and 666 probable, 14 deaths and three probable; Mackinac County, 1,553 confirmed cases and 839 probable, 28 deaths and two probable; Baraga County, 1,720 confirmed cases, 317 probable and 51 deaths, two probable; Iron County, 2,309 confirmed cases and 335 probable, 71 deaths and 16 probable; Gogebic County, 2,729 confirmed cases and 521 probable, 40 deaths and 29 probable; Chippewa County, 3,411 confirmed cases and 5,064 probable, and 86 deaths, 17 probable; Menominee County, 3,939 confirmed cases, 1,685 probable and 60 deaths, 10 probable; Dickinson County, 4,984 confirmed cases and 2,377 probable, 86 deaths and 22 probable; Houghton County, 6,705 confirmed cases, 1,090 probable, 79 deaths and 11 probable; Delta County, 7,888 confirmed cases and 2,032 probable, 131 deaths and 24 probable; and Marquette County, 11,915 confirmed cases, 3,023 probable and 116 deaths, 10 probable. State figures can lag behind local reports or have other discrepancies.

The MDHHS on Wednesday had 1,550 new confirmed coronavirus positives in Michigan since Monday, or an average of 775 per day for the two-day period, for a total of 2,078,951 cases since COVID tracking began. The state for that period added 72 deaths attributed to the virus — including 74 that occurred earlier but were recently verified through a vital records review, plus a correction on two previously recorded deaths — to reach 32,830.

The state issues new COVID-19 data on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but starting next week will switch to Wednesdays only and combine both confirmed and probable numbers.
