Grand Rapids downgraded to ‘high risk’ for coronavirus control, other regions also drop – MLive.com
As coronavirus cases increase in Michigan, state health leaders have downgraded several state regions on a coronavirus “risk phase” map.
The Grand Rapids region was moved to “high risk,” joining the Lansing region. The metro Detroit area also dropped one grade to “medium high” risk and regions in the northern Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula moved to “medium risk.”
The state maintains the MI Safe Start Map as a way to gauge the control of coronavirus in various areas of the state.
The map does not affect any region’s status under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s economic reopening plan and most of the Lower Peninsula remains at level four.
According to the map, as updated July 4, the Grand Rapids region has dropped two phases since June 25 when it was in the “medium risk” phase.
