Michigan K-12

About:

• Data is updated every Monday.

• In accordance with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists’ outbreak definition, educational institutions (i.e., grades K-12 and institutions of higher education) that have been found by their local health department to have two (2) or more COVID-19 cases who may have shared exposure on school grounds and are from different households are included. Case counts for school-related outbreaks include those associated with before and after school programs (e.g., school-sponsored sports). When applicable, outbreak reporting also includes cases originating from on-campus and off-campus student housing.

• New outbreaks are those outbreaks that were first identified during the current reporting week. 

• Many factors, including the lack of ability to conduct effective contact tracing in certain settings, may result in underreporting of outbreaks. This information does not provide a complete picture of school-related outbreaks in Michigan and the absence of identified outbreaks in an educational institution in no way provides evidence that, in fact, that school is not experiencing an outbreak.

• Michigan schools are working hard to maintain a safe environment while also providing quality education. Should you have questions or concerns about this information, please contact your school.

    Total new active cases added this week in K-12 (new school outbreaks):  477
