Lansing — A national website that's been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 says Michigan is one of two states "on track to contain" the novel coronavirus.

COVID Act Now, which describes itself as a "team of technologists, epidemiologists, health experts and public policy leaders," tweeted Tuesday that Michigan had moved to its lowest risk category on its warning dashboard for states.

"Cases are steadily decreasing and Michigan’s COVID preparedness meets or exceeds international standards across our key metrics," the site tweeted Tuesday.

New York and Michigan, two states that were hit hard by the virus in March and April but took drastic steps to try to stem its spread, are the only two states currently with the "on track to contain COVID" designation, the lowest of four risk level categories, according to COVID Act Now.
