The following materials show data from earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic:
- First year of COVID-19 (3/1/20 to 2/27/21): Cases, Hospitalizations, Deaths, and Case, Hospitalization, and Death Demographic Tables
- Second year of COVID-19 (2/28/21 to 2/26/22): Cases, Hospitalizations, Deaths, and Case, Hospitalization, and Death Demographic Tables
- Third year of COVID-19 (2/27/22 to 2/25/23): Cases, Hospitalizations, Deaths and Case, Hospitalization, and Death Demographic Tables
The following materials are no longer being updated:
- Two-week snapshots (9/17/20 to 4/26/23)
- Monthly COVID-19 Case Rates in Washtenaw Residents by Zip Code (7/7/22 to 4/5/23)

- COVID Vaccine Status of Washtenaw County Residents with COVID-related Hospitalization (by month of admission) (3/1/21 to 7/28/22) - The contributing and protective factors for severe illness and hospitalization for COVID at this point in the pandemic are more complex and not represented well in these data. For example, many “primary series + booster” hospitalizations have occurred in people who are more than six months out from a booster and are not considered up-to-date on vaccines. In addition, “up-to-date” status for vaccination continues to change as we respond to the shifting nature of the pandemic.

Data Interpretation Notes
- Information in these charts is provisional and subject to change. Use care interpreting charts and tables.
- Total cases include: Outpatient, Hospitalized, Deceased, and Recovered individuals.
- Confirmed cases: Individuals who have a PCR positive lab result for COVID-19.
- Probable cases: Individuals with a positive rapid antigen test conducted in a healthcare setting and no confirmatory testing (PCR or nucleic acid test). A person may also be classified as a probable case if they are a close contact to a case and have symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Individuals with a positive home antigen test who are symptomatic or linked to another positive case would also be a probable case of COVID (note that most home antigen tests are not reported to public health).
- Students: College students living locally are included in Washtenaw County case counts.
