(WOOD) — Michigan reported 9,674 more confirmed cases of coronavirus over the weekend, as well as 12 more related deaths.

The Monday update, which includes two days’ worth of data, brings the total number of confirmed cases in Michigan to 747,697 since the virus was first detected here more than a year ago and the total number of associated deaths to 16,512.

The number of positive tests is not the same as the number of new cases because people may be tested more than once.

Additionally, testing numbers are from a single calendar date, while the number of new cases lists the increase since the last time the state compiled the data; these two time frames do not match up precisely.

Kent County confirmed 452 more cases over the two days for a total of 57,209 since the start of the pandemic.

Wayne County, hit hardest the by virus, confirmed 1,981 more cases for a total of 124,887.

Michigan has the worst coronavirus surge in the nation, with the case rate higher than it has been since late November, the seven-day average of the test positivity rate above 18% and more confirmed cases of the more transmissible variants than any other state.

Hospitalizations are rising quickly: On Monday, 3,918 adult inpatients were confirmed to have COVID-19, surpassing the fall peak of 3,884.

As people under the age of 19 see particularly high case rates, a West Michigan doctor is warning parents to be on the lookout for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C.

So as we know COVID is so common in the state of Michigan right, now even if your child wasn’t diagnosed with COVID-19, if they have symptoms that I mentioned, it’s worthwhile to have them assessed for possible MIS-C.”.

The state on Monday added 51 locations to list of outbreaks at K-12 schools, colleges and universities, bringing the total number of such outbreaks to 336.

The Kent County Intermediate School District hosted a few over the past three days, and said a total of 4,291 tests were administered:.

The state has received more than 6 million vaccine doses and nearly 5.4 million of those have been administered.

The West Michigan Vaccine Clinic at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids says it has plenty of doses.

Whitmer has also called on the federal government to send Michigan more COVID-19 vaccines.

“We are seeing a surge in Michigan, despite the fact that we have some of the strongest policies in place: mask mandates, capacity limits work from home, we’ve asked our state to take a two-week pause.

The governor and state budget director talked Monday about their priorities for spending that money.
