> The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says the state has the capacity to process 9,500 COVID-19 tests a day. That’s between the state lab, commercial labs, and labs in hospital systems.
> “We have had a great deal of testing materials come in, so we have additional kits and testing supplies, so we are able to ramp up our testing which is something we have wanted to do since this outbreak began.”
> Because of this increased capacity, the state has expanded its guidelines on who can be tested. Sutfin says first responders, such as health care workers, with symptoms are the first priority for getting tested, but anyone with mild symptoms is eligible.

> “We are incredibly encouraged by the fact that we continue to discharge more [COVID] patients than we admit,” Kalkanis said during the call. “We continue to extubate successfully more patients than need to go on ventilators. And our numbers are holding steady, to the point where all of the contingency planning that we had done over the last couple of weeks, in terms of opening up other sites for acute beds...are no longer required. And we are at about 50% capacity right now, in terms of our ICU. So all of those are very, very positive.”
> The health system is also using about 68% of its ventilators, Chu said, and currently has enough N95 masks for the next couple of weeks - a big improvement from 10 days ago, when they had only a three or four day supply.
