The state now has a total of 25,636 confirmed cases and 1,602 deaths.
Dr. Joneight Khaldun, who is Michigan's chief medical executive, said signs are showing the number of coronavirus cases in the state is beginning to plateau and the curve is flattening.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she is "cautiously optimistic" that Michigan's coronavirus situation is beginning stabilize.
“This is a snapshot," she said. "We need to have a lot more data before we can call this a trend.”
The trend of slower growth in new confirmed cases continued in Genesee and Saginaw counties, which both reported lower numbers compared to last week.
