The number of new infections rose by 58% this week. That's roughly 630 newly confirmed cases.
Washtenaw County Health spokespersonSusan Ringler-Cernigliasays they are continuing to analyze the data as they assess the situation.

Ringler-Cerniglia says they suspect some of the increase may be due to a newomicron sub-variantof the disease that is likely circulating through the community.
