Coronavirus Michigan

A small lab at the University of Michigan is one of five U.S. sites that monitor influenza viruses to gauge vaccine effectiveness. The lab also is monitoring coronavirus developments as part of a federal effort.

A widespread flu virus in the state poses more of a threat right now, but health officials remain vigilant for cases of coronavirus in Michigan.

State health officials say two people in Washtenaw County and one in Macomb have  “mild” symptoms of the illness, but that a diagnosis remains days away.
