A total of 332 students and staff at 69 schools have been infected by the coronavirus in new school-related outbreaks, according to data released Monday, Sept.

The biggest new outbreaks involve 25 students at Northwood University in Midland and 21 students at South Christian High School in Byron Center, near Grand Rapids.

Most of those ongoing outbreaks are associated with K-12 schools, but most of the cases are from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where 283 students and staff have been infected this fall.

There are also ongoing cases at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, where 21 students and staff have tested positive, and two outbreaks involving a total of eight people at Northern Michigan University in Marquette.

Among K-12 schools, there were 224 staff and students infected in ongoing outbreaks at 37 schools serving pre-K through high school.

The largest ongoing outbreaks in K-12 schools are: 30 students and staff at Adams Elementary School in Midland; 16 students and staff at Gladwin Elementary School; 14 students at Renaissance High School in Detroit; 14 students and staff at Howell High School; and 13 students and staff at Ionia Middle School.

Outbreak data for K-12 schools includes only cases in which the student or staff was infected at school or at a school-related function.

The state includes this disclaimer with the data: “This information does not provide a complete picture of school-related outbreaks in Michigan and the absence of identified outbreaks in an educational institution in no way provides evidence that, in fact, that school is not experiencing an outbreak.”.
