3 counties in Michigan's thumb have Covid test positivity rates greater than 30% [View all]

(This is a VERY rural part of Michigan, and generally a pretty heavily red section of the state. I think if you added in people who are asymptomatic and NOT getting tested, the actual rate is terrifying.)

According to the State Health Department’s Safe Start Dashboard, more-than 30% of the people tested in Tuscola County have COVID-19.

That number is even higher in Huron County: 1 in three people tested there have had the virus in the last week.

Sanilac County has the highest positivity rate in that area with 34.5% of people testing positive for COVID.
