Coronavirus COVID-19 Update for 4/1/2020

The coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 203 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances: the Diamond Princess cruise ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan, and the Holland America's MS Zaandam cruise ship.


In the USA, 215,081 confirmed cases.
5,109 dead.




Gov. Gavin Newsom opened a wide-ranging discussion on California’s response to the coronavirus pandemic Wednesday with updated statistics on the number of patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit beds around the state.

Newsom said 774 people in California are in ICU beds on Wednesday, an increase of 16.4 percent from Tuesday.

“Why do I start with the number 774? Because that’s the number that I wake up to that I’m most focused on in the state of California,” Newsom said.

Newsom said just over 40 percent of the patients who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 to date in the state have needed to be transferred into ICUs.


Detroiters Denied Coronavirus Testing Because They Can't Get Prescriptions

Detroit is offering free drive-up coronavirus testing by the hundreds. But for some, getting access to those tests is nearly impossible. 

Vehicles have been lining up daily so residents can be tested for symptoms of COVID-19 at Joe Dumars Fieldhouse at the former State Fairgrounds, near the corner of Woodward and State Fair avenues, just south of 8 Mile Road.

However, testing is only available by appointment and residents need a prescription or testing order from a physician. That prescription requirement, according to Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnago, is what's causing the problem.
