Millions of Michiganders live in counties that now have “substantial” or “high” rates of COVID transmission. That’s the threshold where, as of last week, the CDC is encouraging even fully vaccinated people to wear masks indoors.
On the CDC s map, the state is becoming increasingly red and orange, signaling a rapid increase in transmission rates from just a few days ago.

Thirty-three counties are now in those higher-risk categories, up from just six counties last week (according to state data released Wednesday.) On the CDC’s map, the state is rapidly turning from blue and yellow (representing “low” and “moderate” transmission) to orange and red (meaning “substantial” and “high” rates.)
Mask guidance for vaccinated covers 46% of Mich. population
Lansing Nearly half of Michigan residents live in counties where the federal government is urging the fully vaccinated to wear masks in public indoor settings because transmission of the coronavirus is “high” or “substantial.”
The guidance affected 33 counties as of Monday including large ones such as Oakland, Macomb and Ingham up from 10 mostly small, rural counties when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations were issued nearly a week ago. The counties are home to more than 4.5 million residents, 46% of the state’s population.
Michigan’s seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases was 678 on Saturday, an increase from 241 two weeks before. The case rate, 76.8 per 100,000 people, was lower than in all but four states based on data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
